> users typically don’t notice the difference between high reliability and extreme reliability in a service, because the user experience is dominated by less reliable components like the cellular network or the device they are working with. Put simply, a user on a 99% reliable smartphone cannot tell the difference between 99.99% and 99.999% service reliability!
I've been on a shaky relationship with my ISP of late. What brought me to this thread today is that I couldn't push to Github. Notably this isn't covered by their downtime report so, going by the available facts, it's _probably_ not Github's fault I couldn't push; and I've just been on my daily stand-up call and I got disconnected so frequently.
But looking beyond today's available facts, odds are there's a bigger problem GH is not mentioning in their status page. They say the current incident has to do with "unauthorized users" and I wonder if pushing a commit from my IDE client counts as an operation from an "unauthorized user" as I still have to authorize with my SSH key.
It's just insane I can't decide which between Github or German o2 should be the more reliable service!
