GitHub Is Down Again (opens in new tab)

I'm usually the guy who will translate the English spoken by Indians to the Japanese and vice versa. We, Indians, have our Ing/Hin-lish, and they have the Japlish.

I once led the Indian team and interacted with the Japanese team at Dentsu to launch a new eye-care product for Johnson & Johnson. The content was, of course, Japanese, and we do have translators on our end but do not speak Japanese. So, English and here is a dramatized reproduction from my point-of-view.

Japanese team, "Now, we do propaganda to make people buy the products."

Me, in super-slow, enunciating beyond what my mouth can stretch, "No, no, we won't spread propaganda. Yes, we will do Marketing to help launch and make people know."

Me to my team waiting to stitch the Japlish, "Yes, Confirmed. Marketing team involving."

Me to the super nice Japanese team, "All Good. We, in India, Do everything."

Oh! Btw, commenting in Japanese with English terms thrown in is very common in programming code.

    const CONSUTANTO_1 = 100;
    if (github.isNotWork()) salaryMan.drinkBiilu()

It isn't always Friday 5 PM in Japan.

I'm sure if you fit into one of the many preferred classes there is much to learn there, and a fair amount of prestige in working with high scale systems.

EDIT: I'm not trolling, I have legitimately not entertained the idea of interviewing here because of this, which is probably preferred for them, but it's worth pointing out to others who may not be informed.

That being said, I'm 90% sure the GP is sarcastic, trying pull reductio ad absurdum on people who will almost assuredly come here commenting that "the community" should "abandon centralized services" in favor of this or that pet-project.

Having done on-call work, the most annoying bugs are the ones that you feel could be automated (especially when the pager goes off when you're asleep). Not to say that I hope these guys get called out, but it's the nature of the job.
