I think we need to have a little more sympathy for GitHub. You could justify the jabs when could all blame any outage on the migration to Azure, but then they shared numbers around the scale they're dealing with now that everyone is constantly building and pushing with AI.
I think it's commendable that they're not limiting access to the site or (intentionally) throttling newcomers. Yes, they need to get this figured out, but a little sympathy goes a long way. I personally wish them the best and hope their on-call people can go back to getting normal amounts of sleep soon.
An important thing to consider is how much of their uptime without incidents is not the normal working hours. Their incident-free uptime on 9-5 EST, Mon-Fri, is probably like 60%.
Hey! isgithubcooked.com is my site; I made this site in February '26, I think
The contribution graph as an outage calendar idea is a commonly recurring one :). I definitely saw it somewhere else as a static asset first before I made this site.

If backend GitHub services are anything like GHES then I’m surprised it even managed to scale this much.
could have been a page with a static 'Yes' and a significant portion of time it'd be accurate.

what's normal working hours? very US centric comment IMO. Europe, India, China, Latam etc. don't fall into your 9-5 EST normal working hour bucket.
I literally chuckled out loud when I saw the headline :D
Oh, I thought it said "Github Outrage Tracker".
I was ready to click...
That one would be like iscaliforniaonfire.com
