    It's great to add new features, but couldn't GitHub fix the essential ones first?

    Just this week, I encountered the following problems:

    - a diff showing "0 files changed" while there are many [1];

    - suggested changes in a PR not rendering the original line [2];

    - bug trackers not showing more than the 40th page [3].

    Might seem nitpicky but it was just over the last week... I have a whole bunch of other bugs on my mind, and unfortunately, it's only gotten worse over the years. To the point where I almost don't care anymore.

      I suspect it&#x27;s the huge amount of requests they get and more so now with AI. Some estimates put traffic at 3-5x what it was just a year ago.

      If GH.com is anything like GHE, the number of moving parts is staggering.

        This smelt like spin to me when they started putting it out.

        1. Microsoft&#x2F;OpenAI have their incredible world destroying AI surely this should be a non-issue as coding is solved.

        2. Are their customers the only ones using AI while gitlab&#x2F;{competitor} customers are untouched by AI?
