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).

I keep a rolling Twitter thread with all the UI bugs I notice: https://twitter.com/underyx/status/1600943582760042497

Thank you for this! GitHub's UI really bothers me, and I can't help but feel like it's gotten flashier but less useful.

Another one: IIRC, for some reason, there is no "fork" button on mobile UI. You have to go to desktop mode to click the fork button.
