Like what is the deal here? Why is the company ruining this program? Surely there can't be a financially sensible reason?
Some things happen for reasons that make sense, others are done for the sake of it. The PO‘s of front end features need to evolve them. What do you do with a PO who says this is done? They don‘t have visibility, don’t get promoted and they don‘t get a bonus. We have created a dashboard that shows that A/B tested users like the new design more by 7%! The next redesign is already planned!
I think that's financially sensible in the long run, assuming they believe they can run the thing basically as well on Azure, and aren't expecting major issues during the migration. These have turned out not to be good assumptions.
If line doesn't go up, some Ivy League business school grad who has holdings in MS might make slightly less money and have to cut back on the nose candy budget while summering in the south of France this year.
And that's just inexcusable.
Something every week is falling apart at GitHub and it is slowly self-destructing.
Each time there is an incident at GitHub, it is another advertisement to self-host your own. Otherwise just expect GitHub to break next week or two.
Remember, there is no CEO of GitHub; only their AI agents running it into the ground.
It’s clear they have massive scaling challenges but to not tier or isolate your paying customers from the free plan users seems a bit odd. Just my 2cents though.
They should raise their prices!
