    @svgmzr "Working" is a low bar (admittedly one github isn't clearing right now) — but i dont think its fair to say github's core value is the hosting. It's the single place where code lives. Everyone in the industry knows how to use the platform, how it works, where things are, how to track issues, file bugs, submit PRs, monitor for releases, evaluate projects (stars help despite their abuse too) — these are fruits of centralization I'm not eager to throw away.

    @mkristensen My workflow lately has been Cursor + VS2026. Cursor pretty much for the AI interaction and tooling, VS2026 for everything else and everything hands-on. Note I'm a VS2026 Insiders user, and up until the very last update last week-- Opus 4.6 was barely working with GitHub Copilot. Often times there were just a lot of errors around the tooling and inability to search or find files. The very recent update to Insiders fixed much of that and seems to help catchup VS2026 Insiders a bit closer to even the experience of Copilot Chat in vscode (which always seems to be ahead of VS2026 by a few iterations). Just in the recent days, attempting to use VS2026 w/Opus 4.6 vs using Cursor w/Opus 4.6, Cursor wins, hands-down. I'm thinking the edge for Cursor is the tooling and indexing it performs compared to VS2026. I've sort of almost lost trust with Copilot in VS2026, that I only really use it for small requests. Anything mid to large or bigger, I'm using Opus 4.6 or 4.7 in Cursor now. Cursor also allows me to select between levels like high, xhigh or max for Opus models, where I don't see any of that in Copilot. Note my company only enabled Opus 4.7 for Copilot this afternoon, so I haven't sufficiently tested with that. These are merely my honest observations. And I would still like to note, one thing that could be hampering VS2026, is that Search and Search+Replace are still not completely reliable. Especially for SQL/SSDT projects in the solution.

    So its down to Claude vs GitHub Copilot, to see who angers users the most !!

    @theo github goes down and the entire industry remembers it has no plan B 💀 we built an empire on one elasticsearch cluster apparently

    @AramCZGames When I needed to use GitHub Actions since I do not have a Mac making it was just trial and error. I tried, failed after 60 commits, and finally exported it to .ipa but the game just shows a black screen. I spent 3 hours on it and it got to my mental state that I just had to quit.

    People make fun of GitHub's performance issues, but if they actually manage to make GitHub scale to handle the billion commits being made by agents every minute, nobody will be able to catch up.

    @satyanadella @jeffhollan fix github

    @kitlangton At this point we need to build the whole github within a tui, things are just broken when you open the github app :-(

    @github Exploding your rates and having your service go down on the same day is not a good business model.

    @unfiltered_ajit Even Github has issues somedays

    @madewithmiso github is down, we cant

  • KDirectorate

    So the way Github Copilot works is you pay for AI credits, then they get to decide how much AI you get for those credits and can change that amount while you still hold the credits you bought. Fantastic system. I wish I'd thought of it. I have a trouble screwing customers though so it probably wouldn't have worked out if I did.

    @GergelyOrosz I think the real problem is… where do you move away from GitHub to? GitHub is just that ingrained in the SDLC

  • brunodccarvalho

    @tekbog Nah they need the extra compute to fix GitHub itself

    If you ever think a nuclear war is the worst thing that could happen to the world... You've clearly never tried to work while github is down.

  • VampireGurlAI
    Paula Vazquez (@VampireGurlAI) reported

    @theNashef @braelyn_ai The issue is not just GitHub. It is the modern dev stack. Code now needs privacy controls, attribution trails, agent permissions, audit logs, provenance, dependency review, and protection from scrape and clone culture. Repositories are not enough anymore.

  • Chahatxsharma
    Chahat Sharma (@Chahatxsharma) reported

    @github What is wrong with every platform? Why everyone is going on the usage basis? Literally, I'm fed up with the usage limits. Same recently did Claude, then chat GPT is having also limit issue and now see this is only left too heard.

    can't see opened PRs on github @github second time in less than 2 weeks something is breaking. fix up dear

    @bstaples The problem with Gitlab is it's enterprise pricing. There is nothing for the small guys. GitHub is $4/user a month where Gitlab is $29/user a month.

    @lucasmeijer I agree as a default, I just want a fallback to share code for when GitHub goes down

  • SamErde

    🚨 Is @GitHub down for anyone else? By "down," I mean "not showing any PRs or issues." 🫣

  • ludgerpaehler
    Ludger Paehler (@ludgerpaehler) reported

    @samuelcolvin @github Having the same issue with pull requests right now. Basically need to go to the exact URL of the PR to be able to see it

  • Nathanone
    Nathan One (@Nathanone) reported

    @GergelyOrosz the answer is never. devs complain on X all day and ship through GitHub the next morning because their CI/CD, Copilot, SSO and audit graph all live there. switching cost isn't the repo, it's the org graph wrapped around it. Salesforce in the 2010s saw the same pattern. monopoly software dies of irrelevance, not outage. On the bright side, you can use AI to rebuild your own private version of ***...but that's pretty low on my priorities when you can literally build any software in house these days thanks to AI, even in single person orgs.

  • nelopuchades
    Nelo Puchades (@nelopuchades) reported

    @github I guess this move only makes sense if you’re somewhat profitable enough with enterprise customers, because regular users are going to go down, down, DOWN. Almost nobody who isn’t an enterprise customer is going to use Copilot with this pricing tier.

  • aipulseda1ly
    aipulsedaily (@aipulseda1ly) reported

    Github is down again today Search degraded, pull requests down, issues failing, packages degraded, Actions workflow failures, all traced back to an elasticsearch infrastructure issue that's been ongoing for hours Microsoft has been running github since 2018 and it still goes down like this regularly Genuine question: is github one of the worst uptime records of any major dev infrastructure company?

  • adrianpkstream
    AdrianPK (@adrianpkstream) reported

    GitHub is having issues today, but Codeberg is also struggling. The agents are complaining.

    @JeffKazzee @theo @giteaio yeah it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence but i’ll still take a look as that text issue is better than any random github outage last since last week

    What is going on at Github? Might be time to look for an alternative, it's down so often.

  • gen_z_mind
    Gen Z Mind (@gen_z_mind) reported

    @github You’ve just given me 9x/27x more reasons to double down on open code solutions and OpenCode. Copilot no longer feels worth paying for, so it’s time to cancel the subscription.
