Absolutely not. This is 100% self-inflicted. What we are seeing here is a trillion-dollar company screwing over its existing well-established customer base in a desperate attempt to get some crumbs of the current hype cycle. GitHub isn't "dealing with" scaling issues, they are intentionally causing it by shoveling giant piles of coal onto the AI fire. GitHub's issues would be over tomorrow if they were to put reasonable rate limits on their services. Stop the bots and GitHub is no longer permanently overloaded. It is an intentional business decision not to do this, and instead welcome bots with open arms - to the detriment of their existing paying customers. I do have some sympathy for the low-level GitHub staff who have to deal with this - especially those who aren't being compensated with insane Bay Area salaries.
