Or maybe they need to bring back quality assurance expertise to the company.

I mean, if we're talking about "fixing" the symptoms of the downtimes rather than the sources and causes, I guess they could just null route github.com until they have things under control?

Personally, I think they'd have more luck actually attacking the source, what that might be. Somehow I think Microsoft's push for "Every developer only use AI for development, no manual thinking/coding from now on" is the detrimental step, seemingly many companies are still discovering the right approach. Put a freeze to that, and I'm fairly sure you'd see less downtime pretty much immediately, unless all real engineers already left the company, I'm sure I would have at this point.
