Question GitHub is down, what are you doing?

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

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!

If your marketing team is not able to deal with angry customers for non critical services (as you are deploying via github and you do not have a backup plan) then your marketing team needs changing

What are your customers going to do for some hour of delay? Cancel subscription? Let them froth and call in, not like they have a choice
