Paddo.dev: Microsoft Is Letting GitHub Die — 48 Major Outages, No CEO, Projects Fleeing

paddo.dev·medium signal

Paddo.dev's May 28 analysis documents GitHub's reliability crisis: 48 major outages in 12 months, 257 total incidents tracked between May 2025 and April 2026, and GitHub Actions alone suffering 57 outages. With no permanent CEO since former CEO Thomas Dohmke's resignation, major projects like Ghostty (Mitchell Hashimoto, GitHub user #1299) are reducing dependence. Hashimoto logged outages daily for a month and found almost every day had one. The piece frames this as a signal that the central code hosting monopoly may be fracturing.
