I have lost count of how many times something went down on GitHub ever since documenting it on this comment chain [0] and also predicting 6 years ago [1], that going all in and centralizing everything on to GitHub was really not a good idea if you need stability or to push a critical fix and your GitHub actions doesn't work.
Now, are you going to finally self host or should we continue to expect another outage on GitHub?
This time, there is no CEO of GitHub to help us. It is Copilot, and Tay.ai that are still struggling to maintain GitHub.
It is so confusing to me. I never worked for company that wouldn't self host its code repository and CI/CD. All the way back to SVN and when Jenkins was stil called Hudson. Most of the time there was also a local proxy for all 3rd party dependencies/artifacts. I understand why open source projects love GitHub but why are software companies depending on it?
Why do I keep seeing people blaming Tay.ai? That was a one-off Twitter chatbot that was shut down a decade ago.
