Not my blog, but the author's experience reminded me of my own frustrations with Microsoft GitHub.

The other day though, I tried to use the blame view on a large file and ran into an issue I don’t remember seeing before: I just couldn’t find the line of code I was searching for. I threw various keywords from that line into the browser’s command+F search box, and nothing came up. I was stumped until a moment later, while I was idly scrolling the page while doing the search again, and it finally found the line I was looking for. I realized what must have happened.

Oh, I think I hit that too. Obnoxious.

I didn't care that much, though, because normally I'd rather just use a local client (git directly or maybe magit in emacs).

the once-industry-leading status page no longer reports minor availability issues in an even vaguely timely manner;

Can't deal with issue-tracking with a local client, though.
