Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

My understanding is that some parts have moved, but many of the core services, including the MySQL clusters that are at the core of it, are still hosted in GH's own data center.

Got a tip last night that GitHub is moving all of its infra over to Azure. Ideally within the next year. It's such a priority for the company, with its own data center resource-constrained, that it will delay feature development to get that done ASAP. thenewstack.io/github-will-...

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
