Accidentally deleted subscriptions for chat integrations (Slack and MS Teams)

I've been running GitLab internally on k8s for 6 years, it handles code, CI, security scans, build artifacts, helm charts, etc. It runs a nightly backup to a GCS bucket.

Monthly upgrades are painless. Once a year the major versions (18 to 19, for example) bump external dependencies and we need about an hour on it.

I've been using GitHub for other projects and for the life of me I can't see a single area where its better. Actions is worse without versioned and self documenting components, there's no concept of a project hierarchy or inherited permissions, even simple things like setting up deploy keys are more annoying than they need to be.

I can't speak for GitLab.com - I've never used it.

Anyone who deletes Microsoft Teams deserves a raise.

Huh, this is an incident now?

Our github->slack subscription breaks every few months, they never acknowledged it before. At this point we have a doc with the list of repos and settings, whenever someone notices that things are awfully quiet we just go through it and resubscribe.

How long before github deletes all repos? or make private repos public? and such and such?

I'm sure AI will fix it

Maybe count this in the "feature,not a big" column?

I saw this show up in RSS feed on Slack before here. Interesting, posted a message about it.

Not 2 minutes later, a coworker sent a message saying they got a message: their repository messages couldn't be sent, because the user is no longer authorized. The coworker was worried that they might be fired.

Alas, this economy is a terrible time for one business's fuckups to cause worry about people being fired. That's a lot of stress, man!

If only it were measurable in dollars, then we could sue Microsoft for damages. Maybe then Microsoft might stop producing slop. Ahh, wait. Who am I kidding? No, of course that won't cause Microsoft to stop producing slop.

Namecheap suspending neocities, and now Github deleting subscriptions. I am all for the watching the world burn.

I’d ask how this happens, but I’m afraid the answer would just be more disappointing.

five bucks says this was Claude

Probably agentic gone wrong again.

So they lasted 9 days [0] until another incident and this time they deleted subscriptions for Slack and MS Teams?

GitHub's reputation has been long overcooked and you are better off self-hosting and you would have better up time than GitHub.

When will the industry acknowledge that unreviewed vibe coding is not acceptable? The term itself is an offense to common sense. It should not have been given any legitimacy.

I blame the one who coined it -- for having created an entire career based on vibes, namely vibe driving, vibe neural networking, and finally vibe coding -- none of them work.

One bug after another over at GitHub. What is going on over there?

They can't even get the title right: "Accidentally deleted subscriptions for chat integrations (Sla..."

Utter degradation.
