GitHub.com is down

Apparently, it's a major service outage [1].

From Spain its ok. I can use github as well

Seems like their background workers were down too. My colleague sent a pull request before the went down and got the notification just a few minutes ago.

It's fine in London as well. By the looks of it, the downloads are broken.

I rarely comment on the hyperbole of downtimes and how it ruins lives etc etc. However when a hosting company goes down its a big issue as we cant serve our product / sites but we can launch another server and away we go minus the costs. But when Github goes down we can no longer collaborate it feels like a much bigger issue. I really love Github but I'm glad we use Gitlab as then the onus is completely on us.

Its the start of internship seasons, interns are starting to break everything. ^_^
