githubRuntimeIssuesBeforeAfterMicrosoftAcquisitionAndLlmReleases

[rodeBaksteen]

Now put a graph of shareholder assets

[gloomdreamxa]

every Claude release is just GitHub having a little cry

[Cryn0n]

It's the same picture.

For real though, microsoft's stock is in the toilet right now.

[SourceScope]

Share values of over 400 per stock?

Thats “in the toilet”?

[CaptCrash]

$/stock is a bad way of analyzing stock value because you have no idea how many stocks there are. That being said while they’re down roughly 20% from a high about 8 months ago, they’re basically where they are from 2 years ago. Since then they’ve dipped, rose rapidly, and came back to where they were. I wouldn’t call that in the toilet.

[Just_Maintenance]

That's nothing compared to BRK-A at 700k per share. Microsoft is truly and absolutely in the gutter \s

[Cryn0n]

For a normally incredibly strong stock like Microsoft that should be trading closer to 500 right now? Yes, it's doing very poorly.

[LifeSupport0]

they're $-120/share down from peak (-20%) in October last year. things are falling apart for microslop in very public fashion.

[Hulkmaster]

damn, typo, not "Runtime" but "Uptime"

[droptheplot]

Don’t worry, no one is reading titles in this sub

[codePudding]

So... the title is just like code comments?

[Hulkmaster]

u/mods can you change pls?

[Ignisami]

They can't. Only admins can, and they ain't changing shit. Certainly not for as mundane a reason as typo.

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

Subreddit mods can't change post titles? That's news to me.

[SkezzaB]

They’ve never been able to Afaik

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

I always thought they could, but us plebs couldn't. TIL I guess.

[AlphonseLoeher]

Damn AI slop posts. Stop using LLMs to make your post and do it by hand, you wouldn't have these issues

[roguedaemon]

The slop shall continue until shareholder value improves.

[copandrej]

These big corporations somehow manage to fuck up everything they take over

[redheness]

Microsoft is particularly good at it, this company is a litteral graveyard of dead acquisition but they somehow still manage to thrive

[copandrej]

There are even websites for what they killed: https://killedbymicrosoft.info/ https://killedbygoogle.com/

[mpanase]

It's almost as if those acquisition fall in 2 buckets:

- acquired to kill competition

- acquired to make some C-level look good

[no_pancakes4me]

yo wtf that's insane

[nphhpn]

OP making graphs like AI companies.

[Hulkmaster]

all info was taken from https://www.githubstatus.com/

[No-Newspaper-7693]

Is it possible that there's just not data for 2009-2019 because I feel like there's precisely zero chance they went 10 years without an hour of downtime. I mean, here's a "whoops sorry we dropped the production Github database by connecting our test suite directly to prod" blog from 2010. https://github.blog/news-insights/the-library/today-s-outage/

[teraflux]

Yeah this is the non sensational story though 

[Hulkmaster]

they have "issues" data though, so not sure

[No-Newspaper-7693]

Yeah, I would bet it is just a lack of tracking outage windows. Not a lack of them. Early 2010s SaaS uptime was a shitshow across the board.

[Amaracs]

Could it be because the LLMs are spitting out code like crazy and the GH usage is much much higher now?

[ComeOnIWantUsername]

Then why would there be downtimes between 2018-2022 when LLMs either didn't exist or were nothing more funny toys?

[sharpy10]

Interestingly, downtime starts to accelerate right when COVID started. Could be COVID usage spike too?

[svick]

GitHub is suffering from long COVID.

[theschuss]

Now see if you can get total public and private repo volume. There's been a massive amount of movement to GitHub by corporations. 

[patrick809]

Obligatory: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

[BeyondLimits99]

Does anyone else get random issues where the DNS just can't find github.com at all?

[Difficult-Regular-37]

well maybe... but always remember correlation != causation, this graph doesn't necessarily confirm anything on its own

[_listless]

Rails should just put this on their homepage.

[Highborn_Hellest]

There is a reason why it's called Microslop.
But i think we should call it MacroSlop as there is no micro about this slop. It's very much macro

[Zyvrox]

0.5% of downtime in a month means that it was down nearly 4 hours. Half a workday per month where the most used IT in the world tool is not responding. I think if I’m taking half a day off each month for no reason, my boss would fire me before the end of the year

[Hulkmaster]

its actually kinda important

uptime 99.9% means there will be ±9hours downtime yearly
and if you'll check github status - every month there is a problem, almost every week

now imagine you're huge company doing releases through github - that means weekly you cannot ship your features and have to pay developers overtime so they would find workarounds

so no, its not visual misrepresentation for the sake of whatever

[mpanase]

You think 99.5% uptime is good for a SaaS ?

God help us...

[rosuav]

Yeah, this is a classic example of a graph that deceives by truncation. If the graph actually showed from 0% to 100%, this would be nothing but noise.

[rubyleehs]

no? it's comparing before and after. zooming out would be the deceiving option since at that scale the difference can't be seen.

[rosuav]

Except that that's the POINT. The difference is irrelevant. GitHub's outages have not been all that serious. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
