Couldn't agree more. The author not only messes up his own repo while blaming the GitHub UI, he proceeds to then whine that GitHub employees won't restore his data from a backup.


But the point he makes, is that Github made the same misstake - and for themself they could restore it.


If it's a mistake that even a GitHub employee can make with very heavy consequences, is that entirely the fault of the author?

When Lauda Air Flight 004 crashed because the pilots accidentally deployed the reverse thrusters in air, even though it was the pilot who "made a mistake", Boeing was forced to change their design and now the original design is considered flawed.
