I just realized that being a remote team. I can't join any of my teammates. Neither see live changes to the infrastructure and the repositories.
The things we take for granted.

#13And of course today's the first day we're using Slack for audience Q&A at a conference. 360 folks in a room now have to...raise their hands! So barbaric.

#15Hasn't Slack learned yet that you're supposed to host your status page on a different infrastructure?
Re: Slack is offline
#16When the status page is returning a 500 error... not a good sign.
It's an even worse sign when the page half-loads with some stylesheets missing.
Yeah, it alternates loading telling me everything is fine, and just giving me a nginx 500 error. Seems that the status page should be hosted differently so it can be up even when other things are having issues.

If you're a fully remote team it'd probably be wise to figure out some fallbacks.
Re: Slack is offline
#19Reminder why your status page should be hosted in a very different way than your regular infrastructure... so you're way less likely to end up with issues on both at the same time.
I like how statuspage.io even has metastatuspage.com in case their primary domain/DNS/TLD has issues.

#20That's why there's StatusPage.io :)
