Thanks for fixing! Sorry for being curious.. does Github have an office in Copenhagen? That would be cool.

  Yes, we do. I’ve been at GitHub longer than we’ve had that office, so I tend to work from home anyways.

    That's amazing. Had no idea we had a GitHub office here, let alone in the country! If you're working remotely, are you employed by Californian standards/regulations/benefits or by local ones here in Denmark? If you don't mind me asking.

      I am employed here in Denmark, wouldn’t have it any other way.

> A change in the handling of URL schemes was deployed a couple of days ago This was deployed Thanksgiving week? I realize Github isn't a consumer company, so it doesn't face the same pressures as Amazon, but I'm surprised there wasn't a code freeze so people can have a quiet holiday weekend.

  Is everyone at GitHub based in America?
  - mdoms 5y ago
    No, they are not. I know at least one Kiwi who worked remotely for Github from New Zealand.

    No. But this appears to now be the most important online shopping week of the year in all of Europe as well. Shops are abnormally sensitive to outages. You'd expect all kinds of service providers to be extremely conservative with code and config pushes this week due to that. Maybe GitHub is far enough removed from the actual consumers that they don't feel the pressure, but it does seem surprising.

    If a good chunk of them are, it's still good to do a code freeze. If %30-90 of your company is on holiday, not a good time to do major things.
