One of GitHub's most staple contributors announced they are abandoning ship due to constant outages. GitHub's COO responds, promising change, but is it all too little too late?
It prompted a groveling apology from GitHub’s CCO in response, who said […]
I’m sorry, @mitchellh. The team is going to keep working to make GitHub something you can come back to with real proof, not words. Until then, I’ll still be cheering on Ghostty as a user.April 28, 2026
“Groveling”? Who would write an this article like this? That’s just a regular-ass apology on social media.
is the real joke here. why would anyone come back? the reason this is such a joke is that GitHub has started to fail not just in Actions or Copilot but literally losing commits, ie the core git technology that has been rock solid since before there even was a GitHub. after migrating away for stuff like this they’d literally have to pay me.
