Do we need to create a HN post for every outage? It happens every other week.
What else are you supposed to do when you can’t work because you don’t have access to your source code.

Re: GitHub Outage
#32I haven't pushed to GitHub in over a year. Now I'm setting up a new page on github.io with a new repo and GitHub goes 500 just when I try to push. Those GitHub badges... they are as ugly as it gets.
well, I for one would like more unrequested critique of artwork on a code sharing website. ಠ_ಠ
Re: GitHub Outage
#33Even though the status page ( https://www.githubstatus.com/ ) shows no issues, I'm still getting the occasional 500. It seems to be happening quite irregularly. They are possibly facing a lot of load.
Status pages are absolutely useless. I've never seen them accurately reflect an outage
You are missing the point of a status page. They're not automatic things that tell you instantly when something is down -- that'd be pretty pointless, you already know it's down. They're updated by the folks responding to the incident, so you know they know there's an issue and that they're looking into it.

#34Github outages are the bored engineer's equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you were in school, full of unbridled joy. For engaged, happy engineers its the equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you are grown up and have to go dig your car out of the snow and its a normal day just with extra steps.
Not really. I'd rather be getting stuff done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ edit: oopsie I misread.
Would you characterise yourself as a bored engineer?

you still have access to your source code, you just can't push. or pull, but you can sneakernet around that, or have a second remote set in the repo for just this occasion, so you can collaborate as a stop-gap measure while GH gets fixed up.

today I might characterize myself as someone who made a mistake while reading a comment, and replied to the mistaken understanding instead of the intended one.
