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 ].

Have you used gitlab every day in anger? I don't think you'd feel the same if you have.

GitLab’s CI is miles better than GitHub’s. I think it’s telling that every place I’ve been at that used GH also used some 3rd party CI tool (which also sucked, but that’s par for the course), whereas places with GL seemed to manage with its native capabilities.
