   Author of the post here. Github finally took the offending page down approximately 10 minutes after the post appeared on the front page of HN. Total coincidence. I'm sure!

   Moral of the story. If you want even the most basic level of support from Github, you need to get on the front page of HN first.

   And it seems they are able to do things very quickly, when they want to. Bastards.

      It might not be a willingness issue as much as a bandwidth issue.

         Bandwidth can be bought with money, of which Microsoft made an extra $133.7 billion this year.

            We know that coding agents have been pushing GH to its limits. Scaling is hard - especially staff. Maybe they aren't trying to scale support but I think it's reasonable to give them the benefit of doubt here, given what we know publicly

               Having "hackers" on this site giving the benefit of doubt to companies clearing hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue per year will never cease to stop being ironic to me...

                  On the site run by a VC firm? Why is that a shock? Besides, hacker does not mean being a kneejerking reactionary against corporations.
