I'm more surprised hackers found a large enough uptime window to do this.

For those not getting the joke, GitHub has had an increasingly difficult keeping itself up since Microsoft acquired them.

It's gotten a lot worse (and made news) more recently, as the downtime as increased.

*since coding agents caused their commit rate to increase 14x.
A problem that they contributed to.
Maybe they actually try to increase the uptime now by making Copilot plans worse.
Giggity.
No, it's had an increasingly difficult time keeping itself ever since they fixed their uptime metric collection, added Actions, and exploded in users.
Copying a joke posted somewhere else? Wow https://x.com/anshuc/status/2056898035159056558
Thinking a GitHub uptime joke is so creative only one person could have thought of it? Wow.
It’s a word for word copy from the original.
