"... these incidents make clear that we must accelerate this work."
It feels like GitHub maybe needs to slow down? 'We must change things faster' is a wild way to start off an eight hour hard-down postmortem.
- nickelpro 2mo agoDo you think the load is going away? The current infrastructure cannot handle the new load requirements. Either the infrastructure must change, or they must start denying users the ability to use the infrastructure.
- tcmart14 2mo agoI may have come out with a different interpretation than you did of GP's comment. I see how you got to yours. But the way I read them saying they should slow down was, maybe slow down on new features. Which would mean they could shift resources from new features to infra.
- nickelpro 2mo ago"This work" which is being "accelerated" in GP's quote is "the work underway to improve GitHub’s reliability". It is not new features.
- spyc 2mo agoI think he meant to say "prioritize" so that availability related work sees results sooner — "acceleration" — than it would without an increase in priority.
