I would love to see a chart of traffic to other sites when GitHub goes down. My bet is that HackerNews and Twitter both get significant spikes from all those bored developers.

Its not like your editor is down.

My team was working on merging pull requests when this happened. We might actually be at fault! That would be kinda cool.

If only you were using a decentralized VCS, you wouldn't have this single point of failure…

> bored developers Bored? Git's a distributed version control system, so no excuses. Get back to work! But in all seriousness I kind of wish GitHub provided a way to mirror things like issues and PRs so you never have to be fully reliant on one service. Not being able to read these really does make it impossible to get work done offline.
