alt Hacker NewsGitHub example shows clearly that service reliability is really overrated. No one is seriously going to leave GitHub because of reliability. Maybe there's some lone power users, but most companies (mine included) don't even discuss it.
Same as Slack: if it down -- it's down, we just wait.

This is a weird comment to make as it presumes there's a real alternative. There is barely any real competition yet. I'm sure Cursor won't be the first to start putting pressure on them.
I wouldn't be surprised if Linear starts pushing further into Github's markets as well. They already have a better diff engine than Github.
Gitlab does exist
