Hitting 500s when trying to push branches and create PRs.

Are y'all aware your agent's name clashes with an established and rather popular streaming bot/tool, https://fossabot.com ?


That would explain why I tried to get vulnerability notifications and instead all my code was streamed to Twitch.

Again... Unicorns when trying to view files or PRs, errors trying to leave comments or review things if they do load.


Looks like they've got a status page up now for PRs, separate from the earlier notifications one: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/smf24rvl67v9

Edit: Now acknowledging issues across GitHub as a whole, not just PRs.


Status page currently says the only issue is notification delays, but I have been getting a lot of Unicorn pages while trying to access PRs.

They added the following entry:

Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services. Feb 09, 2026 - 15:54 UTC

But I saw it appear just a few minutes ago, it wasn't there at 16:10 UTC.


And just now:

Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Pull Requests Feb 09, 2026 - 16:19 UTC


Yeah I've been seeing a lot of 500 errors myself, latency seems to have spiked too: https://github.onlineornot.com/


I cannot approve PRs because the JSON API is returning HTML error pages. Something is really hosed over there.


Yep, trying to access commit details is just returning the unicorn page for me


git operations are down too.


https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16723 is even worse, GitHub shows `5195 remaining items` in the collapsed timeline.


Wow. If you look at all the issues this seems pretty common

Wow that's whole a lot of yapping

While I do now have a CS degree, I was hired into a big tech company prior to having that degree based on my work in open-source. I'd been (and still am) an active contributor to some large web projects for a few years, prior to this company reaching out to hire me (projects were unrelated to what they do, FWIW).

I did then get my degree in my spare time while at that job, with my salary covering the costs of tuition, which was very nice. I see my degree as a backup, if for any reason an employer has a strict requirement for it or if I leave this field -- I expect my experience to be what gets me jobs as it stands today.


Out of curiosity, did you learn much by pursuing the degree?


No, the content felt incredibly outdated and I can’t say I gained any technical knowledge from it. The only skill it really taught me was how to write effective filler content to boost the word count on something.
