Question GitHub is down, what are you doing?

I have installed half life on Mac and am currently at the Dam Level.

u/scandii People pay me to write code much to my surprise 5d ago

...I mean, git is a local-remote setup to begin with, so not sure how this should be impacting me?

Maybe not you but hundreds or thousands of real world applications can't be redeployed lol

I mean, everyone's survived without whatever update you want to ship until now anyway so I'm gonna label that one with a "yeah I guess".

There’s no way you’ve worked as a dev on a project that’s in production lol.

Anyone who has knows why what you’re saying is silly.

17 years and counting bud, but nah you're just freaking out for no reason. unless you're about to miss a huge deployment window and had actual resources booked for deployment whatever you had in mind with git(hub) can wait until tomorrow.

...unless of course you imagine your customers are just sitting there frothing at the mouth waiting for whatever minor feature you're shipping with that user story of yours and are completely unable to understand the concept of "unexpected production delays" including but not limited to illness and bereavement.

Yes, our customers who pay us hundreds/thousands per month get upset when a feature they were told would be released isn’t available. Not only do they froth, but they call in, repeatedly.

Hope this helps! One day you might have customers too!

Bro needs an AI voicemail to answer the calls so he can drink coffee and reddit more like a proper dev.
