I understand when my non-technical clients ask questions like, "I thought we fixed X?" or "shouldn't Y have been fixed by now?", but I would have hoped that fellow developers would cut each other some more slack, you know?
There are an infinite number of reasons an app could fail at any given moment. Just because we see the same "something went wrong" page 4 years later doesn't mean we're seeing the same problem, or even the same class of problem. It just means that the sun still rose in the east this morning, my stupid car will probably have something new wrong with it when I leave my apartment in a few hours, and software is still really, really complex.
The GitHub team is a smart bunch. I highly doubt they're still dealing with the same class of issues that plagued them four years ago, and it just seems kinda strange to even bring it up.
