GitHub's availability has collapsed to one nine, roughly 90% uptime, in the past month. That means potential days of downtime, compared to the four-nine standard of 52 minutes per year. The cause is partly GitHub's inability to handle traffic spikes from AI coding agents. The platform has no CEO and no clear direction. A third-party site called 'missing GitHub status page' now exists specifically because GitHub stopped updating its own status page.
The contributor-attribution fight is real and worth your attention. Claude Code and GitHub Copilot auto-inject themselves as commit co-authors on pull requests.

The argument in the full piece about what this means for developer trust and tool transparency is worth reading.
The full article also covers a supply chain attack targeting LiteLLM, user backlash after Cursor failed to disclose that Composer 2 is built on an open source model, a documented case study of what breaks when engineers stop reviewing AI-generated code, and OpenAI shutting down Sora. Each item is short and sourced. Read it.
