I’m really wondering what internally causes this. No one likes it when they have outages, but it keeps happening. Is this a culture thing? Like pressure to ship features fast? Some under staffed teams or lack of ownership on some crucial components?

GitHub is implemented in Ruby (on Rails), and now there is apparently a strong internal push from Microsoft to code everything using AIs/LLMs.

IMO mixing a dynamically typed language, a framework based on magic conventions and vibe coding sounds like the perfect recipe for a disaster.

Definitely all good questions. I've noticed that there seems to be a bit of convergence between Azure DevOps and Github (Enterprise) and am curious how co-mingled the teams or management are at any given level or not.

I'm mixed on the cultural changes at MS and have historically preferred GH's approach. I'm hoping MS moves closer to GH than the reverse. I'm not working with/at either company and don't really have a lot of insights to offer other than observations from the outside.
