Githubs uptime is pretty bad. Isn't it under 95% for the year now?

Not really.

It is just very public when they go out.

Steam, Blizzard, Activation are down at least 6 hours a week. While Bank of America is offline 24hours/month. Scheduled downtime is still downtime.

I would love to see a chart of traffic to other sites when GitHub goes down. My bet is that HackerNews and Twitter both get significant spikes from all those bored developers.

Its not like your editor is down.

My team was working on merging pull requests when this happened.

We might actually be at fault! That would be kinda cool.

But reviewing, issues, PRs, etc. are. A lot of the planning parts are down.

If only you were using a decentralized VCS, you wouldn't have this single point of failure…

The stat you refer to is for the day only. Status page shows 99.5159% for the past month, I'd guess it would be in that range for the year aswell.
