alt Hacker NewsI use Github extensively for my personal company, but I also use Azure DevOps (and all git-related features) extensively for a client's project. I keep seeing the Github issues being attributed to their move to Azure backend for "scale".
But we have no issues whatsoever with Azure Devops....ever. It's excellent. Seriously.
Does anyone know why the experience between Github and DevOps is so different, if they're supposed merging the two? Or at least seemingly related? Or are they not at all?
Or is it simply because Azure is "enterprise" and Microsoft cares about that more?
I find Azure DevOps UI/UX very janky. Like, the work items sometimes are loaded in the frontend only and sometimes there is a refresh, then the URL in the browser is not the same of the work tree I am seeing; sometimes there is a lot of flicker/redirects to sign in. The wysiwyg editor sometimes preserve the color themes of the person who opened, it seems. The markdown editor is view or edit only. I probably faced more issues but I won’t remember now. But to say there are no issues, and it’s excellent, I cannot relate, had to chime in. Yeah, it works, but feels like an unpolished product, especially considering the resources it has. The uptime is better than GitHub’s, though.
