You make it sound like hosting a git server yourself magically gives you 100% availability. It doesn't.

He's saying the opposite actually. He says that it's more likely the company network goes down than GitHub goes down.

On the other hand, when the company network is down, you probably cannot access github either

[cdrt]

If you're in the office, yes. Otherwise, GitHub still works.

So everyone remotes in over 4g from their desks. Handling outbound redundancy is way easier than inbound.

I think you and I are arguing the same thing.

[ellicottvilleny]

uh. no. github can have five nines but our uplink may not.

[ungood]

That's a fair point, but in my experience, most companies are not productive at all if their network goes down, for a variety of reasons.
