tl;dr: An Ask HN post requesting that GitHub employees provide insider perspective on why recent outages and issues keep occurring. The poster notes that most existing discussion is speculation based on public data, and wants firsthand, non-PR information from people who actually see what's happening internally.
HN Discussion:
  • AI-boosted coding has caused massive commit volume growth that GitHub's infrastructure can't handle
  • The troubled Azure migration is the root cause of GitHub's reliability issues
  • GitHub's reliability decline correlates directly with the Microsoft acquisition
  • GitHub leadership is not being transparent with paying customers about deeper problems
  • The outage may be part of a broader Microsoft/Azure infrastructure failure
