This was basically my train of thought:

"Damn! I'm tired of fighting installing cordova/ionic. WTF is happening now? Oh Github is down... okay that's new"

Thank God we're on Bitbucket! Right, guys? Anyone?

Regardless, most dependencies are on GitHub which breaks bower install for most people. It's crazy how much infrastructure relies on this single point of failure.

Someone should make a distributed version control system.

If people are going to depend on github being up for their CI workflows, etc., there should be serious effort expended at the network and cache layer to be suitably reliable. It's probably fine to not be able to do developer-level actions for hours, but even a 5m outage in deploying other systems is unacceptable for most businesses.

Why do they have an angry unicorn on their outage page?

They use unicorn[1] as a HTTP server [1] http://unicorn.bogomips.org/

Ha, thanks :)

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of continuous integration builds around the world breaking

As GitHub queues up webhooks, we're bracing for impact at buddybuild! :)

But no one can do anything to generate new webhooks.

There was an error in ionic with Github's error, but I cannot create a new issue :P

What's your service level agreement?

A bitbucket license is $10. Paying $50 a month is redonk.

Free for small teams. Even closed-source projects.

Aren't npm installs actually hosted on npm? This shouldn't affect npm installs.
