Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.
It stated this but with Twitter; it will monitor latest tweets searching for a custom word combo and raise a server alert when found. I found it hilarious. Will post the source once GitHub is back on.
Both seem to be doing too much all at once. But really it is worse with Github if this is what Microsoft stewardship is incidents every, single week and each month guaranteed for years.
Anyways. #hugops for the GitHub team.
What’s the point of bringing up twitter? It is strange to seek victimhood for a petulant billionaire. Of course, it is worse with GitHub because GitHub actually provides useful functionality.
The same folks complaining about something at GitHub going down are the same people that stay and are willing to tolerate the regular incidents and chaos on the site.
It is the fact that not only the Github incidents have been happening for years, it has gotten worse as there is an incident every month.

That isn’t an excuse for tolerating regular downtime for a site with over 100m+ active users, especially with it running under Microsoft stewardship who should know better.
Any other site with that many users and with a horrendous record of downtime like Github would be rightfully branded as unreliable. No excuses.
