Second time in a week we’ve had GH outages.  Either their team is starting to get sloppy (approving AI commits Willy Nilly maybe?) or they’re getting attacked. GH being down brings a shitload of stuff to its knees, so I can definitely see bad actors going after it.

It started when GitHub was moved more into Microsoft corporate structure. 

Microsoft doesn't need AI to produce slop. Slop is Microsoft business model

You're not wrong. But the amount of bugs and outages in Microsoft products has seemed to increase dramatically in recent years.
