I appreciate the unprecedented load GitHub is currently experiencing, but it's not just the (admittedly extreme) load of commits/pushes that is to blame.
Their Copilot cloud agent offering is suffering with a case of some of the worst corporate ADHD I've seen. We built a cloud agentic development pipeline on it, and it seems like almost every other week they silently change something with zero public announcement that creates real disruption for our team.
Note: that's not bugs in the Copilot platform like the article discusses. That's real, breaking changes to the platform that clearly aren't being tested/reviewed before being pushed to prod, with zero public announcement or documentation.
Support is useless – we're paying customers in the 4-5 figures and our tickets go unanswered.
I love(d) GitHub, but I do think they've lost enough public trust at this point that their time is ticking. With talk of new VCSes designed specifically for agents, I do believe it is just a matter of time. Which pains me somewhat to say.
