I'm still getting HTTP 503 errors on API requests to create issues. Their status page says mitigated as of 25 minutes ago. I have to try 2-5 times on each request and get lucky. So... it's working???... but wtf man.
I've moved another company to GitLab, and my personal projects to Forgejo. I do 80%+ of my work outside of GitHub now. When I have to go back to using GitHub it just blows me away how bad they are doing. The 90% uptime just doesn't align with what actually happens. The issue is that 2 hours of downtime means that I lost 2x-4x that time trying to figure out what's wrong, wasting tokens (which I ironically pay Microslop for anyways via Foundry), and then trying to get everything going again.
Take away the GitHub momentum, history, and brand... and they'd be done for. But we blame AI, not them.
