The dreaded FDDOS: Forking Dongle Denial of Service.

#7Even though I'm a SG customer, I can't help but feel a little schadenfreude.
edit: when I made this comment I thought this was a random service failure that would last couple of minutes. More than 1 hour later, I don't think it's that funny anymore as I'm being affected as well.

#8Sendgrid customer here.
Since many services rely on SMTP providers like Sendgrid, they should have a way to notify customers when their server go down and transactional notifications may be disrupted.
I shouldn't be notified by someone who know we're using Sendgrid and happen to read HN.

Yes she mentioned that her website was getting DDOSed and that she was going to put it behind Cloudflare. I'm not sure its a DDOS though, it could just be the amount of traffic she's getting from HN/Reddit/Twitter/etc.

EDIT: It seems that her personal website (adriarichards.com) is down too.
