I can reliably trigger rate limiting by rapidly switching between files. Sometimes it's after looking at 10 files, sometimes up to 30. At any rate, it's not something a regular user would do (and at that point, why not just clone the repo?), and the rate limiting clears in less than a minute. It's really no worse than having to deal with Anubis-chan.
People just love to freak out, I guess.
I was able to duplicate this with some semi-rapid poking around in files which is not uncommon behavior when I am looking at a new project. If I didn't use Gibhub for work, there is little chance I'd be logged in most of the time and this would definitely affect me, I am surprised by people defending this crap.
