Ask HN: Save Github: Improve Github's availability

2 points by wcdolphin 12y ago ↗ HN

Github is down again, suffering from a DDOS. Github has a huge talent pool, what would you suggest Github do in order to improve availability of the service?

If these outages continue, more developers will continue to leave the platform. Save Github, help them scale, and deal with availability issues.

Maybe just stop telling it's a DDOS when it's human errors ?

How do you know that it's not a DDOS?

I don't think many will leave unless it causes issues in deployment.

It would be nice if githubformac/windows could cache the wiki and issues for my starred/cloned repos automatically, this would be more than enough to satisfy me personally.

"Save Github" is a ridiculous title, I don't think Github is anywhere close to having a problem. They've also got a lot of really smart employees and I don't know what to contribute that they wouldn't already think of. Web services have outages. Github's outages are not significant to me in any way.
