alt Hacker NewsJust to add a little bit of nuance to this not because I'm trying to defend GitHub, they definitely need to up their reliability, but the 90% uptime figure represents every single service that GitHub offers being online 90% of the time. You don't need every single service to be online in order to use GitHub. For example, I don't use Copilot myself and it's seen a 96.47% uptime, the worst of the services which are tracked.
On the other hand: it also doesn't include instances where GitHub is painfully slow but technically usable.
These days it is very common that something like opening the diff view of a trivial PR takes 15-30 seconds to load. Sure, it will eventually load after a long wait or an F5, but it is still negatively impacting my productivity.
