This is a bit... low-effort, isn't it? I'd at least expect a video of an exasperated Github user walking up to the '# days since the last GitHub incident' board, sliding out the '1' or '2' card, and replacing it with a '0'.

I mean, that joke is as old as the universe (heck, in the brief period that I worked in an office, decades ago, I had a "# days since the last person asked a stupid question" sign to enact the exact same gag)...

How can we add AI to this perfectly functional product?

Or an octocat standing in front of the board, holding cards from 0 to 7 in its tentacles (with the rest lying on the ground) and looking at them quizzically?

I was half-expecting the "days since last" meme - the one with a person smiling awkwardly while clapping with a large four-digit counter in the background showing only zeroes.

I don't use Github Pages so I might be wrong but IMO I think at least part of the joke is that its URL betrays that it's a completely static site.

Very low effort. Couldn’t read the text on my iPhone without zooming in. I nearly mistook it for a blank page!

I used to have a magic 8-ball that people could use when they wanted me to debug their code for them. I think it was broken, though; it kept saying "Outlook good". Must've been a Microsoft magic 8-ball.
