I am getting really tired of github. outages happen that's a given. but on so much stuff they don't even care or try. Github is becoming the bottleneck in my agentic coding workflows. unless I make Claude do it intelligently, I hit rate limits checking on CI jobs (5000 api requests in an hour). Depot makes their CI so much better, but it is still tied to github in a couple of annoying places.
PRs are a defacto communication and coordination bus between different code review tools, its all a mess.
LLMs make it worse because I'm pushing more code to github than ever before, and it just isn't setup to deal with this type of workload when it is working well.

Have you ever considered that this is the problem? GH never planned for this sort of pointless and unpaid activity before. Now they have a large increase (I've seen figures of 100x) in activity and they can't keep up.
It doesn't help that almost none of the added activity is actually useful; it's just thousands and thousands of clones of some other pointless product.
