Engineering for Slow Internet

Between massacring the UX and copilot I've more or less stopped engaging with github. I got tempted the other day to comment on an issue and it turns out the brain trust over at Microsoft broke threaded comment replies. They still haven't fixed keyboard navigation in their bullshit text widget.

I could put up with the glacial performance if it actually worked in the first place, but apparently adding whiz bang "AI" features is the only thing that matters these days.

The whole thing smacks of a rewrite so someone could get a bonus and/or promotion.

Surprisingly my experience of GitLab is even worse! How's yours? BitBucket wasn't much better from memory either. Seems like most commercial offerings in this spaces suck.

I've been using Sourcehut. I respect Drew's commitment to open source, but I think that a lot of the UX misses the mark. For most things I really don't want an email based work flow and some pieces feel a bit disjointed. Overall though it has most of the features I want, and dramatically less bullshit than Github.
