IT'S HAPPENING
GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY

Cloudflare has been pretty bad too lately. Its like the big companies are not even trying anymore. And if a real war broke out…their facilities are all centralized and VERY easy to target. Keeps me up at night sometimes since a vast majority of services at work are all on central servers.
In theory the internet self corrects. But in practice, if AWS/Cloudflare/MS/etc…goes down, a LOT of other services you dont even know about are effected. Last AWS issue took down Azure as well as people were scrambling to get servers back up and running (among other things).
it’s because all these major service providers are desperately attempting to inject AI into their operations without a goal in mind. they’re literally just throwing money at the wall and wishing something will stick.
at my current employer they are mandating AI be used by every department. didn’t say how or what the goal was, just “use it or get fired”. last year it became a KPI.
so far this year, we’re $13m behind projected goals. labor is down 15% because we stopped hiring people. productivity is down 30% because the ones that remain are getting burnt out by the increased workload.
I have hourly techs tell me they are being encouraged to work off the clock.
2026 is going to be worse than 2025, even if the bubble pops.
I highly doubt it’s just that, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the devs who actually put in all the work upfront have left or been removed. See the same shit at Google, remember when it was actually a good search engine? Priorities shifted to making money above all else instead of making good products.
Ok…? That doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft was enshitifying the software they bought before “AI” was a thing. They didn’t suddenly start doing it when LLMs happened.
They enshittified, yes, but uptime isn’t a topic of enshittification. You don’t make more money by reducing uptime.
Uptime, especially for a critical service like Github, that tons of businesses actually depend on, is a sign of not being able to keep your infrastructure and development under control. And getting below 90% is really, really shameful.
Do you have any examples? I’m not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the “acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground” strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.
This is what happens to nearly every business Microsoft buys or invest in. They’re the enshittiers.
Sony is a close second, BTW 😁
Crunchyroll had a major security breach earlier this week

Who needs external malicious actors when you jam AI into your workflow?
with friends like ai, who needs enemies?
Ah the classic EEE strategy: Embrace, expand, enshittify.
That’s what AI first development gets you.
They were doing that before “AI” development was a thing

Look through the history. In 2024 and before that they consistently had 97+%, only rarely dipping down to 95 and once 92%.
Since February 2026 they have been constantly in the 80s.

Sony pictures just closed Pixelmondo after running it further into the ground
Don’t forget closing Bluepoint after multiple very successful remakes!
If they just let them remake Bloodborn, they would’ve been allowed to just print money
