People really need to get the fuck off of github. There are multiple alternatives.

As an infrastructure engineer and architect, that graph really causes the stress levels to rise. That is incompetence visualized for the world to see. Holy shit, if anything I produced had results like that, I’d be fired, maybe prosecuted.

Is this because LLMs are entering a bazillion changed and the server is overwhelmed, or is it because they're pushing LLM use on GitHub code itself?

Textbook enshittification.

Same image with readable axis labels.

Edit: Just to put it in perspective, that big spike is about 4 hours and 2 minutes of downtime for the month of May 2023. Sauce

Right, so this image cuts off the Y-axis. Looking into it, it's 100% uptime for the green parts of the line, and the second horizontal line is for 99.9% uptime.

I'm fairly convinced that GitHub didn't manage to keep a clean 100% uptime before the acquisition, so this is more likely to be faulty data - basically underreported downtime figures prior to the acquisition

If the average month has 43800 minutes per month, then 1% is 438 minutes. But the Y axis is 1/10 smaller, and goes by 00.1% increments. So 43.8 minutes. So really we are talking about less than an hour for most months. Most months are around 1-2 hours, and never more than 4 hours in any given month.

There also isn't a counter for number of events. If you just did a major overhaul of some system with both hardware and software changes and when you went live you stalled out, then fixed it in 2 hours and never crashed again for the month- that is actually a decent and half competent IT team. Versus if you are just applying untested updates or shitty product breaking commits that are crashing servers and needing to roll back every other day but your down times are less than 2 hours- that team needs to be re-evaluated.

Oh lol thumbnail made me think this is an IR spectrum.
