    The argument for "GitHub is going down" is "GitHub is experiencing hardware failures more frequently"? It's a weak premise on its own. I wouldn't buy an argument made using this as its sole basis.

    Alright then, nothing to see here I guess.

    Original Post: My interpretation? The Microsoft Github ship is sinking and it's sinking faster every day.

    Update 3: Let's inject some reason here. Github isn't dying anytime soon. Certainly not due to this number of outages. And all software breaks, so that's no measure; what matters is the response. And Github is on it. Like every single other time it was broken.

    Alright then, nothing to see here I guess.

      Should I have taken more time before posting? Yes, lesson learned :) But I wouldn't have made the update if "there's nothing to see".

        I mean setting aside the fact that you comically invalidate the thing your post is premised on: the rest of the argumentation is only a few loosely connected paragraphs that don't go much into depth, and don't end up saying much that hasn't been said more eloquently elsewhere.

        I mean, it's fine, it happens. It's actually kind of funny when you read the two parts I quoted side-by-side.

    The more I use Gitlab, the more I like it. Especially since it's fairly easy to self-host, I think Github's days are numbered, just that number might be very, very, very big.
