I mean, I'm not going to disagree with the fact that GitHub *should* be able to handle this increased load, and clearly something is going wrong that it doesn't.
Also you'd be surprised how much GitHub traffic has increased since it was sold. I forget how much it actually is, but people severely underestimate that too. Though ofc not as rapid as it is now.

@poliorcetics I guess I'm mostly interested in steering this to something that to me feels more grounded. Like for example: I think it's fair to ask why GitHub can't handle the increase in volume. But I get annoyed when I see dashboards that have a broken methodology or discount things like volume increases. Like, I want some of the critique to be… better I guess?
