Earlier quoted context omitted.

Like Homebrew!

yap! and npm, bower, rubygems, etc...

I didn't think rubygems relies on github. And rubygems seems to be working fine to me at present.

It is true that rubygems runs on AWS and is effected by AWS outages (like much of the internet, it seems like).

It's also true that individual application Gemfiles can choose to express dependencies to gems hosted in a git repo, such as github, instead of the rubygems repository. If you don't want to be dependent on github, then don't do that. Of course, you're dependent on the rubygems repo ordinarily still, which has gone down occasionally. But the rubygems repository is independent from github.

Interesting how hacker news became the new replacement for .com" rel="nofollow">http://status. .com

It’s more karma whoring than anything else, this post doesn’t add anything except that GitHub is down and people who care about GitHub already know it, and those who don’t care, well, don’t care about this post.

I just noticed that a repository wasn't working, but hadn't put it together that the entire site might be down... so the karma whoring was useful for me.
