Why this kind of links get always promoted? What's the point? Genuine question.
One reason I like them is that it's easy to pull your hair out trying to figure out why something isn't working without checking an obvious (but not entirely likely) cause.
Right in the middle of a deploy for us! Thankfully we're getting enterprise so hopefully this is last time a DDoS messes with our productivity.

How could that possibly be a good idea for them? More distractions while they're trying to fix shit?
I'm just joking. (But who knows, maybe people would take lighter on the downtime if they could see the team working really hard to fix it).
Wouldn't it be a good idea for Github to set up a video + sound stream from their office when these things occur? I for one would watch. Can't really work anyway (at least that's what I persuade myself to think).
GitHub's employees are massively distributed. A video + sound stream might not be as interesting as you think.
Good thing about decentralized version control systems is that they're decentralized. I hope github can deal with today's issue without too much trouble, but it's not a major inconvenience to me and the rest of my company's devs. We can just push and pull changes to some convenient in-house server via ssh to sync up our work.
Bad thing about github is that people tend to use it in a non-decentralized manner. In our case, all of our deploys do a clone from github.
I just wanted to express my appreciation that github being down is not as big an issue for most people as it would be if github was cvshub or svnhub. :-)

Maybe they would, but I'm sure a bunch of people would also be wondering why they waste their time on putting on a show instead of fixing their core business :P
How is this an interesting news ? Because my comment isn't clear. This is not an interesting news. A link to the twitter status or the github status ( https://status.github.com/messages ) would be relevant in that case. not just some link to a third party telling us it's down. Yeah thank you. I could have notice it on my own....
It's the main hosting service for most developers' source code and a large part of how many open source projects organize, communicate and work. I guess that makes it a tiny bit more relevant than yet another post about how some mediocre entrepreneur thinks we should all live our lives.
I seriously doubt that.

Probably because they said they are under a large ddos attack? :-? I wonder why would someone do something like this? It's not like github is evil or anything... it's just a really cool and useful tool for coders. It helped a lot of people better their skills and knowledge. Why would someone attack it? (I am genuinely interested in this as I can't think of a reason someone would do something like this)

I have some of my code on GitHub and some on Bitbucket (for the free private repos), all of my code on my Dropbox and it's synced to 4 different machines. However, the library I'm working with is hosted on GitHub, their doxygen is on GitHub, their wiki is on GitHub, and I don't have a local version of either of those, which is now pretty annoying.
Very true. This is a major irritation. I rather like Golang because of stuff like this as you can run your own local documentation server and stuff. It's just a neat self-contained package.
I love Go.
