Troubleshooting checklist: 1. Commit fails 2. Try again, see if it fails twice 3. Check internet connectivity 4. Try github in browser 5. Try github in a different browser 6. Go to HN to see if it's down for everyone 7. Write snarky comment 8. Go try again...

Why would your commit fail?

First noticed it when making a wiki commit, actually. Edited the story slightly for artistic license. :)

Thank God we're on Bitbucket! Right, guys? Anyone?

I changed jobs recently- previously used Github, now on BB- glad I'm not at my old job, I'm sure several people's phones are blowing up from auto-emergency fail measures.

We're already planning a bitbucket move. Unfortunately it's not planned for another week or two.

Having used both, I find github's tools (mostly) better. And bitbucket isn't 100% reliable either.

Self-hosted is.

Ha. We're on BB too. Lucky for us, there hasn't be a problem with BB service for oh, about 6 hours [1]. :) 1. https://bitbucket.statuspage.io/

One of my clients is on BB, they have frequent service issues. I need to switch them over to github.

If the internet would hire people to advertise for them, it would bring marketing to the next level. Take for example if BitBucket hired someone to go online, and compare the two: GitHub and BitBucket. Of course the comparison would have to disclose that thy work for BitBucket, but it would be a very thoughtful response.

We would get these detailed as fuck responses on why one project (BitBucket) is worth more to the developer than GitHub instead of these little jabs at why it is better. I want thoughtful responses.

If there was a duplicate response, the employee that responds to various threads online can link them to their answers.

This isn't even directed at you @ntaylor. I think it's an exploitable marketing strategy. A clear example of this is Katie from PornHub. /u/Katie_PornHub (or whatever the user name is) posts on reddit, which in tern gets more interest in PornHub. PornHub is basically using reddit for free advertising.

Basically. I want to know WHY something is better than something else, and that WHY is with as much detail as possible with a lot of thought put into it. Give me a pros and const list between the two. Anything but two good things about it.

Holy fuck, this would just add a human element to advertising. You hire humans to serve ads to people. Whenever "GitHub" is mentioned, and you have a competing better service, their only job is to advertise your service to anyone have problems with the other service.

In cases like these, it always seems to happen naturally. Humans are willingly advertising for free, when they could be paid for it.

The downfall of the internet:

Maybe by the time you switch to npm, github will come back up?

For the impatient. I would make a gist but... while true; do curl -s https://status.github.com/api/status.json | grep good && tput bel || echo -n .; sleep 1; done

I'm not sure how ddos'ing github would help with the outage. runs script

Judging by the fact that their status page is still up I'd say that the service is pretty independent of the rest of the site. If my one-liner gets popular enough to do damage to Github when China can't then I will be extremely proud of myself. :D
