GitHub gets breached and someone's first thought is "wait, you guys have uptime?" Five nines of uptime means 99.999% availability—roughly 5 minutes of downtime per year. The joke here is that GitHub's reliability is so legendary that attackers apparently had to wait for one of those mythical 5-minute windows to break in. Either that or they scheduled their breach during a maintenance window like civilized criminals.

The real kicker? GitHub's incident response is so polished they're basically writing a security breach announcement like it's a product launch. "We are investigating unauthorized access" has the same energy as "We're excited to announce..."
