earlier this year, a team i'm no longer a part of switched from using AWS CodeCommit to using GitHub. at the time, i questioned why switch to something that goes down a lot. the response was it never goes down. the next week, outage. there was no valid reason on why switching to github other than "some potential VC questionnaire asked if the company was using github". i'm much happier no longer being there when these kinds of red flags are replaced with klaxons

I find github to be a much nicer experience than codecommit. Not surprised that people would want to switch.

Seems those folks maybe have never used GitHub in any larger capacity. They've been having issues constantly for a long time now.

September - 7 incidents

August - 17 incidents

July - 11 incidents

June - 13 incidents

And so on. Last time they had less than 10 "incidents" was December 2022.

Were the repositories even public?

no.
