Year old startup overloaded GitHub – Incident report (lovable.dev)
Lovable was partially or fully down for about 19 hours. The direct cause was Github disabling our Github app due to the rapid creation of new repositories. Lovable uses its Github app to clone and push to users’ repositories. The reason why Github disabled our app was that the rate of repository creations violated their terms of service and “significantly burdened their servers”. They had assured us that our usage pattern was fine when we reached out in December.

4.5M Suspected Fake Stars in GitHub (arxiv.org)
GitHub, the de-facto platform for open-source software development, provides a set of social-media-like features to signal high-quality repositories. Among them, the star count is the most widely used popularity signal, but it is also at risk of being artificially inflated (i.e., faked), decreasing its value as a decision-making signal and posing a security risk to all GitHub users.
