Do we need to create a HN post for every outage? It happens every other week.

  What else are you supposed to do when you can’t work because you don’t have access to your source code.

    you still have access to your source code, you just can't push. or pull, but you can sneakernet around that, or have a second remote set in the repo for just this occasion, so you can collaborate as a stop-gap measure while GH gets fixed up.

      git works completely fine offline. However I have a feeling that most companies are set up to download 50MiB of dependencies at every run, so a website being down makes the entire thing not work.

  In the beginning of status pages, most of them were automatic one way or another, or engineers quickly threw up "We know of the problem, stay tuned" messages there. But soon after, legal/executive team got ownership of them apparently, and the status pages are no longer automatically showing downtime/response time and notice about when things are actually down can take a while. So I think it's nice that there is at least one place where I can see if it's a problem on my end, or if it's global. It helps to remove some frustration at least.
