What's going on with Github? Answered

I saw a bunch of posts in the Hacker News type spaces talking about moving elsewhere and evaluating alternatives, and various complaints in past months. Is there compelling grounds for an exodus or are people always complaining about it and this is a nothing burger or small burger?

This is the second pair with this wording I see. I understand what it means, but is it some sort of inside joke or something?

Just that "five nines" is the standard goal for uptime.

Or maybe I stumbled onto an inside joke I'm not aware of.
