HN already has a 'Github downtime' post as soon as I find Github weird and check HN if it's only me. How is everybody so fast? :-)

This seems to be the third or so day in the past week I've had issues with GitHub around this time in the morning. They've typically been really good. I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more talk about it on HN.

If Github is down, thousands of programmers suddenly have nothing better to do.

HN is the next place after Github that a programmer frequently visits ;)

They seem to be doing heavy work on it. Now on Mobile you can't see repos in "Desktop Mode" which is unfortunate. I have to tell my browser to pretend to be in desktop mode. Plus the regex post from the other day seems to imply they are working on new things when somebody from GH replied in said thread. I don't mind improvements, but don't break production guys...

No matter how many talented engineers you have on staff, your entire service can still go down. Let's pause and reflect on that. ;)

It’s quite unfortunate. I’m hoping the post some kind of RCA/analysis.

I know I would if we had a month with only 2 9s of uptime.
