I'm surprised at the level of detail presented in this post. Say what you will about the product, but I appreciate lifting the veil on what goes on behind the scenes.
I'm so tired of them whining about how hard it is to scale due to agents. First of all, GitHub uptime has always been bad, even before the MS acquisition and way before agents. Secondly, plenty of other services have much more demanding scale problems with much better uptime. How many millions of hours of video is YouTube streaming and transcoding? When was the last time YouTube went down? I'm done with the excuses and have moved to self-hosting.

I wonder if this post was planned prior to Anthropic's announcement regarding Github's inability to handle their volume of merges.

Thanks I just want my GitHub actions to not break every so often though.
I'll settle for git operations and PR merges not breaking.
I thought breaking every so often was already the dominant feature of GitHub actions.
Chaos engineering as a service.
Yeah how else am I supposed to take a break or an afternoon nap

This is so tone deaf in timing, it could only be microsoft, and it (weirdly) makes me feel better.
Why is this "tone deaf in timing"? Isn't this addressing gh's biggest bottleneck at the moment?
Commentary on PR strategy is really low quality commentary.
