The Github website is slow everywhere. It is truly a piece of shit software both in terms of performance but also UX/UI and everything in between.

It's a product of many cooks and their brilliant ideas and KPIs, a social network for devs and code being the most "brilliant" of them all. For day to day dev operations is something so mediocre even Gitlab looks like the golden standard compared to Github.

And no, the problem is not "Rails" or [ insert any other tech BS to deflect the real problems ].

After 10 years of using Phabricator at a previous company I am still shocked how bad GitHub is. This the industry standard?!

Too bad Phabricator is maintenance-only now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phabricator

Looks like a new community developed fork of Phabricator is up! I've never used it but glad to see the project continues.

I tried poking around but it looks like you have to be logged into to view the source, and registration requires manual approval. :/

I assume this is fallout from dealing with LLM content scrapers.

Yes, exactly. Even though you can clone the git repos anonymously, or look at the Github mirror.
