It is getting worse in a measurable way:

1) Since vibe coding GitHub has frequent outages and isn't able to load a large number of comments.

2) The slop translation of Bun resulted in immediate bugs (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/30719) that the hyped Mythos apparently did not find.

3) AI features and (likely, though not proven) AI code resulted in a 0-day in Google code:

The house of cards is beginning to collapse.

Github's issues aren't really a vibe coding issue though - right? It's more of a scalability issue due to vibe coding? Didn't the CTO go here on hacker news and say that they had 1bn commits in 2025 and are on course for 14bn commits in 2026?

Maybe this is confirmation bias but I feel like Github has had terrible uptime since before LLMs were a thing.

People started depending on GitHub more. Do people really think it was more reliable when it was a sprawling RoR app in 2010? (Not that there’s anything wrong with RoR; people just didn’t expect such high uptime back then.)
