Show HN: Red Squares – GitHub outages as contributions

Weekends are the untapped frontier. Still room to scale.

Far fewer outages during the weekends. Perfect, wasn't gonna do any work then anyway.

Funny to see this closely match contribution graphs with effectively no downtime on weekends.

I don't really understand why this is happening at this scale, it's not like they just became broke and can't afford a proper server... can someone explain?

This design is perfect irony. I love it.

Would be interesting to see if this correlated with their release cycles.

I wonder how well this corolates with azure incidents. Especially for the US regions.

The memes are really painful now. I feel for the team that's is trying to survive underwater.

can you correlate this to data on # of commits, actions, etc?

Please tell me this makes sense

This website has no overused ai-generated animations and... I quite enjoy it. The original website[1] has a fade-in animation, big round cards, shadows, all the jazz you can think of, it's there.

This site is very readable, very honest and sober. I don't need to sift through buzzwords to figure out tiny details.

Thank you, OP!

Clearly their team needs more LLM usage.

double entendre: Is it load based or github-employee based that weekends are sparser.

or just a multifactor of both.

"Good job, Microsoft, amazing uptime."
