Are you sure? Seems like they "completed" a migration about the same time all these problems started to become daily.

replyThis is a convenient lie that GH likes to tell. Growth is nothing like exponential, its at most 300% over several years according to their own public numbers (presented misleadingly on graphs)
replyBut a couple of years ago they were crowing about how much work they were doing to prepare for “a billion developers”. If they had actually done that then the actual load from agents should have been no problem.
Is this growth in resource usage or growth in revenue? Because those numbers aren't necessarily coupled. I.e most action runners are free

replyThere was an x post in another thread under this post that showed all the standard usage numbers are way up: 14x, 2.1x, etc. And the OP hinted at the usage growth being non-linear for 2026
replyYeah, that and Microsoft has been slow to move the infrastructure to something that scales better to handle that load.
replyThe more surpassing part is that Microsoft hasn't figured out a way to manage/contain the AI-sourced traffic better so it doesn't create all this noisy neighbor problems for non-AI usage/users.
Github's core platform doesn't really make that separation, anything a human can leverage on github an AI agent can as well, just faster and with heavier usage. End of day agents and humans are using the same services.
replyMSFT is also forcing its subsidiaries to “lean into AI” so that they can fire people to cover for Satya’s bad investments
