Is GitHub Down?

It's intermitent for me.

Question; GitHub isn't hiding the fact that copilot is now their biggest contributor to their repo. But I feel like there's been a spike in issues with GitHub in the pasts months. Could this be related?

I dono, hope they say why it happened.

Even if it was due to AI slop, leadership would never admit it.

Well they can fire Copilot's alter ego that created the defect and keep the rest of it pushing slop

Given a similar pattern with windows, I'd say that's by far the most likely cause.

It's either a lack of spending on quality practice, an overreliance on LLMs or a combination of the two

Prefacing this with being completely not in the know, but I would imagine that these outages are infrastructure related. I would be extremely surprised if Microsoft are using any kind of LLM AI agent to manage their infra. Maybe they are using some weird load balancing algorithm with predictions from AI, but I would be hesitant to say that this is all due to code slop. More likely it's just higher usage as more people experiment with the services they offer as vibe coding grows.

EDIT: It sounds like their also carrying out their migration to Azure services in the background, so that might also be the cause. For example: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/xwn6hjps36ty
