It's notable that they blame "our upstream provider" when it's quite literally the same company. I can't imagine GitHub engineers are very happy about the forced migration to Azure.

I would imagine the majority of Github engineers there currently joined post MS acquisition.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're happy about Azure as a backend.

I've been a software "engineer" for over 20 years, and my personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy.

Being happy means:

- you don't feel the need to automate more manual tasks (you lack laziness)

- you don't feel the need to make your system faster (you lack impatience)

- you don't feel the need to make your system better (you lack hubris)

So basically, happiness is a Sin.
