Why it worked
The video uses a relatable and humorous comparison between a critical piece of infrastructure (traffic light) and a widely used tech platform (GitHub) to highlight a perceived issue with the platform's reliability, sparking curiosity and engagement.
Summary
The video questions why a traffic light appears to have better uptime than GitHub, displaying a chart showing GitHub's platform uptime at 88.69% with significant periods of maintenance, minor, and major outages over the last 90 days. It contrasts this with the seemingly constant operation of a traffic light.
