Concerns
- GitHub's repeated outages make it hard to see them as a serious company anymore — users are losing faith in their reliability.
- Degraded performance on GitHub Pages, which should be static, raises serious questions about their infrastructure's stability.
- Having multiple outages in a single month, especially affecting enterprise plans, is unacceptable and speaks to a larger systemic issue.
- Blaming AI scaling for performance issues feels weak when they're backed by a major hyperscaler — users expect better.
