I wonder who left the team recently. Must be someone bagged with shadow knowledge. Or maybe they send devops/devs work to another continent.

They're in the process of moving from "legacy" infra to Azure, so there's a ton of churn happening behind the scenes. That's probably why things keep exploding.

I don't know jack about shit here, but genuinely: why migrate a live production system piecewise? Wouldn't it be far more sane to start building a shadow copy on Azure and let that blow up in isolation while real users keep using the real service on """legacy""" systems that still work?

It took me a second to realize this wasn't sarcasm.

Are they just going to tough through the process and whatever...

I think it's more likely the introduction of the ability to say "fix this for me" to your LLM + "lgtm" PR reviews. That or MS doing their usual thing to acquired products.

rumors I've heard was that github is mostly run by contractors? That might explain the chaos more than simple vibe coding (which probably aggravates this)

nah, they're just showing us how to vibecode your way to success

If the $$$ they saved > the $$$ they lose then yeah it is a success. Business only cares about $$$.
