Ah so that's why the GitHub Pull Requests extension is repeatedly harassing me about needing to log in again...

Or the GitHub mobile app where I was using a remote copilot session.

Surely they just need to consume more tokens to fix this!

These are not working for me right now: Github Pull Requests VS code extension, Refined Github Chrome extension

This is what I get for trying out Fable 5.

One thing I hate about GH's status page: sure "auth" gets to live under API, so API gets the downtime report today. But all of my remote git ops are failing, because i was dumb enough to use the `gh` cli to auth. Their status pages are not well defined, but they treat them as such, leading to inflated uptime numbers.

GitHub iOS logged me out. Tried logging in twice before realizing the problem is on their side...

Again? Last time an incident happened was 48 hours ago [0]. Now the API is having issues.

Something every week is falling apart at GitHub and it is slowly self-destructing.

Each time there is an incident at GitHub, it is another advertisement to self-host your own. Otherwise just expect GitHub to break next week or two.

Remember, there is no CEO of GitHub; only their AI agents running it into the ground.

OpenAI, Anthropic and Google serve models, but approximately all of their combined output ends up on github.

To a certain extend I can fully accept that GH has scaling issues because of the insane traffic increase from AI generated code. But they are owned by one of the largest technology companies in the world, who also happens to run a hyperscaler.. so..
