    I've been running GitLab internally on k8s for 6 years, it handles code, CI, security scans, build artifacts, helm charts, etc. It runs a nightly backup to a GCS bucket.

    Monthly upgrades are painless. Once a year the major versions (18 to 19, for example) bump external dependencies and we need about an hour on it.

    I've been using GitHub for other projects and for the life of me I can't see a single area where its better. Actions is worse without versioned and self documenting components, there's no concept of a project hierarchy or inherited permissions, even simple things like setting up deploy keys are more annoying than they need to be.

    I can't speak for GitLab.com - I've never used it.

      Gitlab.com used to be slightly less available than GitHub but recently I think the tables have turned and Gitlab saas is relatively stable.

      I also enjoy Gitlab as a platform. It's got everything, good board, good repo, good issues, good CI, extremely good registries. It's got the equivalent of gists and pages... It a better product all things considered.

      GitHub just wins because of popularity. It's WordPress all over again, the thing people use because it's a thing people use.

        If only they stopped changing UI's just for the heck of it

        Recently they changed the issues list, and it just got worse

        They changed the merge request list to be way too smart, making assumptions about user's workflows

        To me it feels like they have way too many engineers looking for things to solve that arent really problems

        The CI system is great though

        Running it self hosted is also generally without any problems - although they just broke my upgrade to 19 because they decided to remove mattermost

      Triggering github actions manually is way, way cleaner. Also the pipeline configuration feels cleaner to me bit that might be personal preference more than anything else.. Otherwise I agree. =)

      Enterprise pricing is a huge factor.

    Anyone who deletes Microsoft Teams deserves a raise.
    • amelius 1 day ago
      Nobody has ever been fired for deleting a Microsoft product.

        And yet still better than Google Meet/Calendar/Workspace.
        • stogot 1 day ago
          Better in what aspect? All the categories I can think of teams is worse

      Maybe spin up a couple more H100 for Copilot.

    Huh, this is an incident now?

    Our github->slack subscription breaks every few months, they never acknowledged it before. At this point we have a doc with the list of repos and settings, whenever someone notices that things are awfully quiet we just go through it and resubscribe.

      I think Slack requires reauthorization after some time. I get asked to sign back in to various accounts after a while.

      does that calendar look like copilot and claude superimposed over one another

    How long before github deletes all repos? or make private repos public? and such and such?
  • inetknght 1 day ago
    I saw this show up in RSS feed on Slack before here. Interesting, posted a message about it.

    Not 2 minutes later, a coworker sent a message saying they got a message: their repository messages couldn't be sent, because the user is no longer authorized. The coworker was worried that they might be fired.

    Alas, this economy is a terrible time for one business's fuckups to cause worry about people being fired. That's a lot of stress, man!

    If only it were measurable in dollars, then we could sue Microsoft for damages. Maybe then Microsoft might stop producing slop. Ahh, wait. Who am I kidding? No, of course that won't cause Microsoft to stop producing slop.

    Maybe count this in the "feature,not a big" column?

    Github is making engineers more productive by turning off distracting fake work tools

  • wglass 1 day ago
    Huh. I was wondering why my auth expired and I had to resubscribe in one of my channels.

    Everything has an expiration date it seems. I assumed I just missed a reminder email or message.

    Ramifications of the slopification

    So they lasted 9 days [0] until another incident and this time they deleted subscriptions for Slack and MS Teams?

    GitHub's reputation has been long overcooked and you are better off self-hosting and you would have better up time than GitHub.

    Namecheap suspending neocities, and now Github deleting subscriptions. I am all for the watching the world burn.

    five bucks says this was Claude
    • SV_BubbleTime 1 day ago
      Anthropic coming out quick to say it was Human Error that leaked all their Claude Code source… 110% confirmed to me that it was Claude that was involved.

      There was a trillion dollars pushing for them to quickly say it wasn’t.

    Probably agentic gone wrong again.

    One bug after another over at GitHub. What is going on over there?

    When will the industry acknowledge that unreviewed vibe coding is not acceptable? The term itself is an offense to common sense. It should not have been given any legitimacy.

    I blame the one who coined it -- for having created an entire career based on vibes, namely vibe driving, vibe neural networking, and finally vibe coding -- none of them work.

      Andrei Karpathy coined it.You can talk to him, but he is probably too busy with the big leagues now.

    I’d ask how this happens, but I’m afraid the answer would just be more disappointing.

    They can't even get the title right: "Accidentally deleted subscriptions for chat integrations (Sla..."

    Utter degradation.

    • ZoneZealot 1 day ago
      It's an Atlassian Statuspage style oddity, the title is too long for a single line and it's put an ellipsis and linebreak. But the ellipsis has overwritten the end of the content on the first line. Full title shows on the home page.

      That might actually be a bug in Firefox. The source text is correct and it works in Chrome. `text-overflow` shouldn't apply to text that fit on a line...
