More likely that 'update the Status site' lives a long way down their incident response plan, and they have alarms going off well before that

yeah I mean a company the size of GitHub certainly can’t be expected to have enough staff to walk and chew gum at the same time

If it's like other BigTechs I have worked at, you need director-level signoff and comms team approval to post an outage notice

it should be automatic tho. Probably isn't so they can at least get the one nine on availability

Marketing definitely takes interest in status sites
