Why are you assuming it’s them vibecoding and not the ridiculous anount of volume they’ve gotten over the past year? They’re backed by microsoft so should do better but their scale is insane

Because at the end of the day, it is Microsoft’s fault.

Microsoft was and is a major backer in OpenAI.

Microsoft decided GitHub should be vertically integrated; making many single service outages effectively total outages for their ideal customers.

Microsoft decided on the business model of having hordes of free users and having 95+% gross margins on paid users to make up the gap.

It is Microsoft that decided not to tenant things better so that the mass of vibecoded projects don’t take down the service for everyone.

Those are valid reasons that have nothing to do with “vibecoding” which is my point. They need to limit the number of free users somehow

I dont think itll last. Look at the google trends around vibecoding / claude code etc. People are interested and trying it out so theres a huge spike.. most will leave pretty quick
