My repos were coming up as 404s. I was wondering if I had been canned...
Hah I had the same thought

#22Why can't they just roll it back /s
Who decided to deploy something risky on a Friday /s
Why don't they have lower environments like QA to test it in before going to production /s

#24Github is becoming too important. A routine backup system is needed, something like archive.org, that backs up important Github projects.
I assume that there are some archives of public GitHub repositories somewhere.

I know this a greybeard's fantasy and that most people working today were trained not to bother, but: important things should not have GitHub as a failure point.
Hobby projects and today's work? Sure. Point straight at GitHub and hack away. And when it goes down, get yourself a coffee.
But everything that's anywhere near production should have already pointed those github requests to a mirror or other tool in your own controlled ecosystem. The status of GitHub should have nothing to do with whether you're customers are getting what they're paying you for. Same goes for Docker containers and every other kind of remotely distributed dependency.

#26Once again proving that Monday is "whenever you push to production"

#27I like how "Every request returns a 404" == "degraded performance"
It should load faster if there's nothing to load

If only there was a decentralized system to allow version management of code.
I realize you're talking about git, but I think it's also pretty important to have a place where users can submit issues and dev's can say "it's fixed in version XYZ", these are not features of git.
I've been meaning to give radicle a try.
Re: We are investigating reports of degraded performance
#30PR really spun gold when they decided to label everything from every single one of their databases getting deleted and backups nuked to intermittent connectivity issues as "degraded". Who exactly are they making feel better by not calling a spade a spade?
