GitHub Incident
- postexitus 8mo agoI believe it is an Azure outage or some type of MS service - everything on Azure is down.
- zxcvasd 8mo agohaving no issues on azure here, seeing no azure incidents on the status page or any of my admin panels
- verst 8mo agoI second this. Not experiencing any Azure issues at this time.
- deathanatos 8mo ago> seeing no azure incidents on the status page … in all seriousness, that is hardly proof that Azure isn't having an outage.
- zxcvasd 8mo agoif i thought it alone was proof enough, i wouldnt have also included the bit about how i was actively using azure. its one signal, among others. and in any case, i wasn't trying to prove the parent commenter wrong. i was offering my own signal to the crowd.
- ctxc 8mo agoMy az services seem to be up.
- nullfish 8mo agoI suspect the migration to Azure is continuing to go well
- rvz 8mo agoYes indeed. 6 years of non-stop outages across the platform every month. Even self-hosting would have been more stable than sitting on GitHub as predicted more than half a decade ago.

- someguyiguess 8mo agoI did not come to hacker news expecting comedy gold but you have done it my friend!

- ascendantlogic 8mo agoThis feels more like Copilot-as-platform-engineer to me
- DeepYogurt 8mo agoGithub's been running on vibe code for a while now and it's starting to show
- nottimbo 8mo agoMicrosoft, it's time to hire some SREs.
- lenerdenator 8mo agoWhy hire anyone to fix a problem when you can make an AI agent to "fix" it, tell investors about it to pump the price, and not fix anything knowing that you have a monopoly?
- arm32 8mo agoWe did hire some, boss! Soshie, Vizzy and Dexter. They're AI, but they're supposed to be way better than a human SRE. At least that's what the Sintra salesguy told us.
- rvz 8mo agoSo that's what the Tay, and Zoe AI bots were doing all this time after they were cancelled and banned off of Twitter. Working on the GitHub Azure migration and for years it's gone so well so far.
- kyleee 8mo agoI hope someone’s been reviewing their work in case they’ve been adding certain german related Easter eggs
- ferguess_k 8mo agoYes we did hire SREs, unfortunately they are in another continent and they only know how to pull others into the chat. We also have some AI too, do you want to try them? They are pretty good SREs, one of them wrote 100K lines of code in a week while another one reviews every line along the way. It was fantastic! Fantastic!! FANTASTIC!!! OK I have no idea about MSFT SREs, just to be /s.
- aruggirello 8mo agoClippy to the rescue! :-)
- MadameMinty 8mo agoAngry unicorns seem to be over.
- tapoxi 8mo agohelm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io/ https://charts.gitlab.io/ && helm upgrade --install gitlab gitlab/gitlab I did this in 2019, it avoided so many headaches. CI is better too since there's a nice clean mapping of build -> pod for everything and I can just exec in if something's borked.
- odie5533 8mo agoThings would have to get really bad before I considered managing my own repositories. Trading someone else's headaches for my own.
- 0xbadcafebee 8mo ago^ this. the last thing i want is to add to my workload. take my money and make my life easier, even if it means that for one hour every couple months i can't do anything
- NewJazz 8mo agoHave you ever actually hosted gitlab?
- 0xbadcafebee 8mo agoNot only have I hosted it, I've helped migrate two gitlab instances to github enterprise, because we didn't want to maintain it anymore
- NewJazz 8mo agoDon't you still have to maintain github enterprise?
- 0xbadcafebee 8mo agoIt's the cloud managed one, they have an "enterprisey" license that gives you more features/limits but you don't have to run infra, upgrades, patches etc
- corvad 8mo agoGithub's recent reliability has honestly been abysmal. Not surprised.
- ferguess_k 8mo agoUnless some major customers are moving away, I don't think they are going to seriously care about it.
- corvad 8mo agoI suspect some companies may already be considering it. Especially with the wealth of alternatives today.
- bakje 8mo agoPerhaps the gemini-cli bot arguing with itself is taking its toll https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16750 https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16750
- johnisgood 8mo agoWonderful, lmao.
- lol768 8mo agoJeez, what a mess. Some of those issues have over 5000 events on them. I really hope that didn't send emails out to people.
- embedding-shape 8mo agoHaha, reminds me off bringing down office mail servers by accidentally creating loops of emails back in the day... What is old is new again, but this time with probabilities :)
- pdimitar 8mo agoI could not resist to put my sarcastic comment about RAM price increases serving a good cause in there.
- dgxyz 8mo agoHaving just had to buy 4TB of RAM, I appreciate this.
- jbverschoor 8mo agoGood thing git is a distributed system
- dgxyz 8mo agoVirtually no one knows how to do anything with it outside of github.
- Joe_Cool 8mo agoThat's a them problem.
- nine_k 8mo agoYour favorite search engine or LLM will show you in a second, it's really easy. The problem is that it's not enough. The fact that Github uses Git specifically is a technical detail; it could use mercurial equally easily, as Bitbucket used to. Github Actions, OWNERS files, PRs and review tools, issue tracker, wiki are all not Git features.
- dgxyz 8mo agoNot a chance. I think you need to spend some time in low ball corporate IT. It's just monkeys throwing faeces at the wall. We only just levered them off subversion... (I use Fossil 100% offline for personal projects for ref)
- tonymet 8mo agoi still find insightful ways to use git every day. amazing tool. it's a shame for those who only see it as "how to sync my repo with my coworkers"
- TZubiri 8mo agoYou might be surprised, but that's not true at all. I once read someone commenting "Nobody writes code by hand without looking syntax up". Man, you are just outing yourself as a complete beginner, the field is way deeper than you imagine and it's not even close.
- phtrivier 8mo agoFixed in about 30m to an hour. Definitely annoying, but I'll try the hot take that, contrary to popular belief, GH is not critical infrastructure - or so I hope. Please tell me no part of the Ukrainian air defense system depends on a gh action hook.
- ares623 8mo agoWhen millions of man-hours are lost waiting for your service to be back up, I think that deserves a bit of resiliency.
- eddd-ddde 8mo agoYou've heard of infrastructure as code, now presenting air strikes as code! Need a new secret offensive operation? Create a new JSON file with the coordinates, make a merge request and get Commander approval, merge it, and our new proprietary GitHub action runner will deploy a drone in seconds!
- philipallstar 8mo agoThis is far too simple. The correct way is to generate an NFT that's a screenshot from Google Maps of where you'd like to hit, and a blockchain-watching AI will spot it, figure out where you probably mean and send the coordinates to the fire control system.
- vaylian 8mo agoIt's not critical, but there's still a lot of reliance on it. It's also the only reason why I still need IPv4.
- NewJazz 8mo agoThe status page says things are still not fixed.
- toephu2 8mo agoThis is why companies should host their own source code on-prem.
- howToTestFE 8mo agoIf GH has an issue, it seems to always be around 4pm or 5pm GMT. I'm starting to think that i should avoid any planned production releases around this time.
- andrewinardeer 8mo agoDays since last GitHub incident: 0.2
- imglorp 8mo ago14 incidents this month. So far.
- johnisgood 8mo agoAnd it is January 16. Jeez.
