Curious to see the postmortem here. Who makes production changes on Thanksgiving weekend!?!

  Granted, it's probably the best time of the year for github to break, precisely because nobody else is pushing production changes....

  You don't want to know the answer to this question. I'm totally serious too.

  I don't see any postmortems or any root causes on their incident history page. Just "problem resolved". Do they not make these public?

  Does GitHub have employees outside of the US?
  • daxfohl 5y ago
    Yes but, given Thanksgiving weekend accounts for a huge percentage of annual retail sales in the US, most companies are reluctant to let anyone touch anything even remotely connected to production that weekend. (My company has been in production freeze for three weeks now.)
