    @DanielMiessler Even if it were a load issue, a company like GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft, should be able to cope with scaling.

    @kajogo777 @github I think GitHub issues needs a spam filter just like Gmail has.

    Instead of selecting a small subset of users, it had selected all of them. Every account. Every inbox. Every GitHub user. There’s a moment in situations like this where your mind searches for an exit. Cancel the job. Kill the process. Undo what’s been done. But systems don’t always move at the speed of regret. By the time the problem was understood, the emails were already in motion queued, processed, and sent.

    When Dario said Software engineering is going to disappear with AI. Now look around, what you see; - Security Vulnerabilites - Axios Compromise - Lovable Compromise - Vercel Compromise - Claude, & Claude Code Down - Mistakenly share code for Claude - GitHub is down now ykyk

    @mitchellh Github enterprise was a pain in the *** using it at Discord. Whole company just sitting around for half a day while it's down every 3 monday. Glad folks are jumping ship.

    @mitchellh Somebody had to be the 1st one to start this migration off of Github. Thanks for kickstarting. Core features (pr diff, issues & pr page) have been broken, even the most basic things (scrolling up) doesnt work properly. Its time GitHub worked better, or got replaced.

    99 pull requests on the wall. 99 pull requests. Tried to take one down and pass it around, but GitHub said, “There aren’t any open pull requests” at all.

    @RhysSullivan the dependency on AI tooling is now deep enough that an outage has the same energy as GitHub going down used to. that's a shift that happened faster than anyone predicted.

    RELIABILITY @mitchellh — HashiCorp co-founder, GitHub user #1299 — just announced Ghostty is leaving GitHub after 18 years. He kept a month-long outage journal. Almost every day had an X. 65+ incidents in Feb-March. Third-party uptime: 90.21%. SLA: 99.9%.

    The loudest people shitting on GitHub are usually the ones who’ve never had to build or operate software at that kind of scale. Everything looks like a simple fix until you’re the one dealing with the complexity.

    @kdaigle @mitchellh Why is GitHub this buggy? How did you let it become a slop machine? Why is it soooo slow in loading projects and PRs?

    André⚡🇺🇸⛩️ (@AzureCruzader) reported

    @Adriksh but I guess timing, abundance of extensions, a free market of those too integration with github in many scenarios was perhaps a killing point too once MS acquired it maybe if github remained a neutral player in another reality jetbrains could have realized their errors and thrive

    @dotta I've started using 📎 when my 🦞 refused to finish any work properly so now it's dead simple - my claw or Hermes agent creates issue via API - my 📎 engineer codes and opens PR - my internal GitHub app reviews PR and comments the 📎 issue - my 📎 engineer addresses the comments

    @Hiteshdotcom @github Its not like it's supported by the one of richest company in the world, who keeps pushing out AI. Its a growth problem they should be able to handle.

  • Feezybellz
    Afeez Adedayo Bello (@Feezybellz) reported

    Hello @github, is there any way to get a human to look at an issue? I've opened several tickets regarding an account suspension, but every single one just gets an automated bot reply and immediately hard-closes so I can't even respond.

  • justic_hot
    tang | AI Product Maker (@justic_hot) reported

    mitchell hashimoto's "ghostty is leaving github" post — the part nobody's quoting: "for the past month I've kept a journal where I put an X next to every date where a GitHub outage has negatively impacted my ability to work. Almost every day has an X." that paragraph is what makes the post land. starting one today for the automation behind this account. CDP brownouts, viewport virtualization, tab desync — i ***** about these every week but never date them. month from now i'll either have receipts or realize i was being dramatic. what tooling pain would you actually log for 30 days?

  • 0xQuantic
    Quantic (@0xQuantic) reported

    Can maintainers review PRs, run CI, manage issues, merge changes, and ship without GitHub blocking them? According to Mitchell, the answer became “not reliably.” He says he tracked it for a month and almost every day GitHub had some outage or degradation that hurt his ability to work. In one example, GitHub Actions was down and blocked PR review for around 2 hours. GitHub lost Ghostty because the tools around *** became too fragile.

    @sv_techie Right now GitHub is having lot of outages.. but thats a separate issue lol

    @raj4_____ @warpdotdev That looks like a bad bug. Mind opening a GitHub issue with more details so we can get it fixed?

    This is why Github is experiencing reliability issues btw, Mitchell is colonizing the GH servers without mercy.

  • _mii_nipah

    Can't you? I know it's expensive, but I'm not spending that much on AI (each USD is like 5 of my country's currency, so it gets expensive especially fast), I use the github copilot which microsoft seems to be technically subsidizing, albeit I believe they paused new accounts and are planning to move away from the current subscription model, however I believe it would still probably be cheaper to use copilot than to pay those companies directly. If I'm wrong about that, I'll need to get more creative or simply write most of my stuff entirely by hand again until this gets cheaper. I obviously can't say about your country or your circumstances, so I'm merely pointing to what's currently working for me. But nonetheless, it's very cool that those models are now able to solve such problems, I currently believe they can be used to make a lot of stuff better.

    The "I'll leave GitHub because it's broken" wave is the same as "I'll leave Twitter because it's broken" They'll see if the grass is greener outside and then come back home. Will you leave GitHub?

    @askOkara fix them for you" via github is a bold claim ngl. seo has always been more "fix it yourself and see what sticks" than automation. but curious if anyone's actually tried it and can vouch for the results

    @amasad What has the number of commits to do with GitHub actions being broken?

  • SergiiShymko
    Sergii Shymko (@SergiiShymko) reported

    @mitchellh Instead of leaving GitHub, given your resources and status, why not offer help to stabilize GH? IMO, helping fix GitHub would’ve been way more impactful than working on Ghostty at the moment. Unless, you had already reached out to Microsoft and they refused any help, then yeah…

    Nobody is teaching this in college. So here it is > full guide: how to go from broke student with no experience to landing your first AI freelance client - using only free tools, in under 30 days YOUR FREE STACK > Claude Code - free tier > VS Code - free > GitHub - free > total cost: $0 don't buy anything yet STEP 1. pick one small useful thing to build not a portfolio. not a "brand" one thing that saves someone real time ideas that actually sell: > script that pulls job listings by keyword and sends a daily email > tool that auto-generates invoices from a spreadsheet > bot that monitors a webpage for changes and alerts you > script that turns raw notes into a formatted report small. specific. one real problem STEP 2. build it. break it. rebuild it don't watch tutorials for a week before starting open Claude Code. describe what you want to build. just start when it breaks - read the output. understand why when it works - change something. see what happens give it 3-5 days of real focus this is how you actually learn STEP 3. put it on GitHub like a pro write a README that answers: > what problem does this solve > how does it work > how do I run it this is your resume now a working project beats a GPA every time STEP 4. find your first client (the honest version) don't go to Upwork and bid $5/hour > find 10 small local businesses - restaurant, dentist, gym > spot one obvious problem they have (manual reports, no follow-up emails) > email or DM them on LinkedIn > say: "I built a tool that does X. I can do the same for you" > charge $100-300 for the first one > ask for a testimonial when done first client won't pay rent but they'll give you proof you're real that's what matters at the start STEP 5. repeat. raise prices client 2: $300-500 client 3: $500-800 3 projects + 2 testimonials = you're not a beginner anymore what to expect, honestly: week 1-2: confusing. normal week 3-4: first working project month 2: first real client conversation month 3: first dollar month 6: $500-2,000/month if you stay consistent what NOT to do: > don't buy a course before trying the free tools > don't try to learn everything at once > don't wait until you feel ready > don't underprice yourself forever the tools are free. the article is linked 🔖 bookmark this. open it today

    @AbdMuizAdeyemo @Hiteshdotcom @github The deeper issue: GitHub's API rate limits weren't designed for agents that make 500 calls/hour. Kimi K2.6 just showed 300-agent swarms are real. The infra billing math at that scale gets uncomfortable fast.

    I put a bounty on a Coalton issue (add syntax highlighting support in another non-Coalton project) and in less than 5 hours some unknown people started pushing AI-generated PRs to this other project. Makes Coalton look bad. Never thought I'd need to actually moderate on GitHub.
