What Is Going On With GitHub?

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers · host Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

GitHub has had a rough few months, with outages, service degradations, Copilot interruptions, and even a merge queue bug that affected real pull requests. In this episode, Matt and Mike look at what’s been happening with GitHub, why developers rely on it so heavily, and whether the rise of AI-assisted coding is putting even more pressure on one of the most important platforms in modern software development. Is this just normal growing pain for critical infrastructure, or a warning sign that developers should rethink how much trust they place in a single platform?
