If you received two email receipts tonight it’s because we accidentally billed you twice. That said, the second charge has already been voided.
In the craziness of migrating hosts we forgot to turn off the cron jobs on our Engine Yard slices. One of those was our nightly billing job so it ran once on EY and again on Rackspace. Fortunately our payment processor, Braintree, has a great API that allowed me to grab all of the customers that were billed twice this morning and void the second charge in about 10 lines of ruby.
This is particularly embarrassing for me, because it could have been easily avoided, but I wanted to be totally honest about what happened and let you know that we took care of it.
Now let’s all get back and enjoy crazy-fast GitHub!!
GitHub is in an exciting phase of our journey as the developer community grows significantly every day, and the needs of the community grow and change with it. Today we’re introducing our new Chief Product officer.
Catch up on everything we announced and see what else happened during this year’s GitHub Universe conference that took place November 9-10.
We just published our vision for GitHub accessibility at accessibility.github.com. Here’s the TL;DR: the prime directive of the GitHub accessibility program is to empower people with disabilities to build cool technology.
