just out of curiosity, does anyone find these HN postings useful? wouldn't your critical shit break long before you go read about it on HN? otherwise, why not just rely on their human-friendly status pages that get served if such a thing occurs? i don't understand why this is on the front page, since it's not an infrequent occurrence.

Github's awesome, but yah, that's the downside of having one place that hosts so much code. Having some outage or disruption is feeling like a bi-weekly event..
