By the numbers
A Developer Counted AI Labs' Status Pages. Outages Are Up, but He Won't Blame Agents (Yet)
A developer posted on LinkedIn that coding agents were making software flakier, then went and counted every incident on public status pages. On his blog he reports incidents per month up 2.1× at Anthropic, 1.4× at OpenAI and 1.8× at GitHub versus before their coding agents launched. But he says most curves were already rising, so the data doesn't cleanly blame agents.
Key facts
- His count: GitHub logged 98 distinct incidents in the first nine months of 2026, against 56 in all of 2024.
- Across 11 mature software companies he compared, the median change in incidents per month was +1%.
- His own caveat: the numbers only cover what companies choose to publish on their status pages.
