| If you pay developers x money / day and one of their core tools is down for n hours during the day and they spend their money on HN instead that's pretty straight forward to calculate. |

| I was in the middle of a hot fix. Our pipeline goes through Github. |

| ▲ | parthdesai 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's understandable, but surely there's a way to bypass it? You need to have a breakglass procedures lol | | |
| ▲ | penultimatename an hour ago | parent [-] | | “lol just use a workaround” doesn’t work in an environment with hundreds or thousands of employees coupled with audit, security, and other legal requirements to ship software. | | |
| ▲ | parthdesai 44 minutes ago | parent [-] | | If you're actually bleeding money, you better believe you'll get permissions for a workaround, if you know what you're doing. It all ties back to the OP, where the issue you've might not be as bad as you think. I have been in situations where we have dropped all procedures to push a hot fix because we were actively bleeding money, and in situations where you know there is an issue, and you let it be. |

| Imagine Github being critical infrastructure for you... The ineptitude... |
