It's the main hosting service for most developers' source code and a large part of how many open source projects organize, communicate and work.

I guess that makes it a tiny bit more relevant than yet another post about how some mediocre entrepreneur thinks we should all live our lives.

You didn't get his point. The submitted URL doesn't provide useful information, https://status.github.com/messages could have been used instead.

May be when the link was submitted the official information wasn't available. OK, then just wait for something useful because if the site is down and I'm affected I can see that myself, I don't need to read HN.

EDIT: oh, looks like the original comment was edited.

Well, in that case, sure.

His statement was a little broad (or even ambiguous) and I think my interpretation was the most obvious/straightforward one.

I seriously doubt that.

In the hacker/open source community, I'm fairly sure it is.

Among HN readers maybe, but the hacker/open source community is much more than that.

But don't you know that HN is the goto site for anyone who is serious about the technology field?
