Just recently I thought to myself "it has been a long time since I saw the Github Unicorn". As it turns out, I didn't really miss it at all. Regarding the centralized nature of Github: it is the centralized communication that is a problem, not the ability to share code. I can easily send a patch to somebody on my team, but that doesn't help me review a PR, reply to comments, trigger a CI build, or initiate a deploy.…

Further I think these are things that are generally harder to decentralize. I'm not sure how much marginal value there is doing so.

Apparently the status has been "red" every day since December 1st: https://status.github.com/messages/2017-12-07 "The status is still red at the beginning of the day" Yesterday was the first "normal" day, before this outage.

That was different before. They likely changed some historic data when they put the current issue online. Probably just pushed out a quick update.

this PSA is quite unnecessary when a problem is universally known and maximally severe.

Maybe it will prevent some folks from refreshing the page and possibly exacerbating the issue?

so, front page of HN is a good way of alleviating server load?

I find it useful because I don't use github directly, but some of my software's dependencies do. It's a nice heads up, because I probably won't be checking otherwise.
