I've never seen an outage this big. Even the homepage doesn't load. We've had recurrent issues with Actions not running, but this seems a lot bigger. The status page says all is well, though: https://www.githubstatus.com/ . Hilarious.

I get the angry unicorn page "No server is currently available to service your request. Sorry about that. Please try refreshing and contact us if the problem persists. Contact Support — GitHub Status — @githubstatus" with that last link going to https://x.com/githubstatus showing "GitHub Status Oct 22, 2018 Everything operating normally."

I think this is because logged-out Twitter now shows top Tweets of all time from a user, rather than most recent Tweets.

Good reason why companies shouldn't be using Twitter/X for status updates anymore!

Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.

Except that the weird HN algo just saw 187 upvotes in 15 minutes, and dropped this thread to the second page...

It's 00:16, just about to go to bed, I ran `git push` and it's not working. Check Github, says it's down, I think it's only me, maybe I'm blocked, Github can't be down. Come here to check and it's down for everyone, such a relief.

I love how the same people who try to drag me towards using Git are the only people who seem to have serious problems working on their code when a website goes down.

Wonder if they’ve had worse uptime after moving to Azure
