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.

You didn't get his point. The submitted URL doesn't provide useful information, https://status.github.com/messages could have been used instead. May be when the link was submitted the official information wasn't available. OK, then just wait for something useful because if the site is down and I'm affected I can see that myself, I don't need to read HN. EDIT: oh, looks like the original comment was edited.

Why would someone go to all the trouble of making a botnet, then DDoSing GitHub ffs.
Why not? They likely already have a botnet, they didn't make it to DDoS GitHub specifically. Maybe they were annoyed with someone who was using GitHub, or they wanted to prove a point, who knows. All in all, the reason is because they can.
