@yosh and you’re voluntarily ignoring other data: 1. Github became worse starting months after Microsoft acquisition, years before LLM were a thing so there would have been no reason for explosive growth at that time (and certainly not even close to 10x every year, that would mean more than the earth population by now) 2. Github (and Microsoft) actively choose to push copilot and other LLM shit of the same type on users that did not ask for it (but that’s the Microsoft understanding of consent, so a classic), that’s on them if they couldn’t handle the resulting load, there is no excuse for that 3. GitHub actively encouraged LLM usage from it users via blog posts& positive communications on social medias, preaching themselves as the platform for it, that’s again on them if they couldn’t handle it 4. GitHub has effectively infinite money and all the while praising LLMs has not managed to use them to actually fix their issues, which is a very funny self own to me There are many _other_ reasons to criticize GitHub but they’re not linked to uptime and service quality and so irrelevant here. I’m disappointed because you’re usually defending sustainability, self care and electrification but the second the GitHub thing started gaining ground you apparently felt like you had to defend it in spite of the the facts that GitHub is a system literally opposing those three goals. I’m not disappointed when a Microsoft account says idiotic things, it’s a PR and marketing account, that’s expected, I’m disappointed when I have expectations based on past experiences
