I was just saying it's kind of ironic that pre-acquisition GitHub inspired confidence, and Microsoft-owned GitHub has been more "move fast and break things."

I also don't just mean outages like this... it's clear that Microsoft GitHub has been cramming a bunch of new stuff into the UI and not really treating it with care. I notice very amateur UI bugs, misalignment, bad spacing, overlapping elements, etc. all the time now. It was clear that old GitHub passed through a professional designer's eye quite carefully (or maybe just a developer with extreme attention to detail).

Just like Skype... I felt like Skype was top tier before Microsoft bought it out. Voice calls were high quality, no issues.

Skype was also horribly insecure and leaked your IP which was a cause of a lot of folks in esports getting DDoS'd from it[0].

I remember this being a problem after Microsoft acquired it. You didnt even need to call someone to get their IP. You just needed a username.
