Ever since Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub 8 years ago, GitHub has completely enshittified and has become so unreliable, that even self-hosting a Git repository or self-hosted actions yourself would have a far better uptime than GitHub.

This sounded crazy in 2020 when I said that in [0]. Now it doesn't in 2026 and many have realized how unreliable GitHub has become.

If there was a prediction market on the next time GitHub would have at least one major outage per week, you would be making a lot of money since it appears that AI chatbots such as Tay.ai, Zoe and Copilot are somewhat in charge of wrecking the platform.

Any other platform wouldn't tolerate such outages.
