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.

The mobile UI is just lacking all around. There are a ton of features that just don't seem to exist. Searching inside a repository? Nope. Browse files of a given commit? No chance. There's a bunch more, but both of those bother me very frequently.
