This is getting out of hand. I had a call with github enterprise sales yesterday about this. Best they could offer is a blog post link and taking more of our money.

Hoping to migrate away our little chunk of github to a private island by end of next week.

Hackernews talks a lot of shit about how big boys can run their computers better than us lowly startup peasants. This is a fortunate situation where that stale argument starts to fall apart really quickly. I have many other systems with far higher availability than what github offers in their public cloud or even as part of the contractual 99.5% enterprise SLA.

Sure, github is really complicated and hard. Yes, it's an incredible tool. No, it's not OK to rest on your laurels and let COTS database technology kill your product when you are a billion dollar technology company with the ability to write your own systems from scratch several times per year using parallel teams and other investor money furnaces.
