FWIW not all of those outages were the core git/web product. A lot of those were GitHub actions or other associated functionality... but yeah it goes down disturbingly often given how much we all depend on it.

Yeah so if you can math.round or math.floor them a bit the paths are a lot cleaner - if you're dynamically creating them anyway though then I don't know that it gains you much performance. It might gain some performance on render
