alt Hacker NewsIt's great to add new features, but couldn't GitHub fix the essential ones first?
Just this week, I encountered the following problems:
- a diff showing "0 files changed" while there are many [1];
- suggested changes in a PR not rendering the original line [2];
- bug trackers not showing more than the 40th page [3].
Might seem nitpicky but it was just over the last week... I have a whole bunch of other bugs on my mind, and unfortunately, it's only gotten worse over the years. To the point where I almost don't care anymore.

I suspect it's the huge amount of requests they get and more so now with AI. Some estimates put traffic at 3-5x what it was just a year ago.
If GH.com is anything like GHE, the number of moving parts is staggering.
This one has been driving me (and many others!) mad for _years_.
