Incredible how reliable the heuristic of "something seems off - probably github being down" has gotten these days
It's big enough that every time it goes down, it surely stops somebody from pushing fix for what they currently have broken, so I wonder if status page services see some kind of ripple from github outages.
About an hour ago I was having trouble browsing repo files in the browser and I thought "A disturbance in the force, is Github down?" Refreshed HN and loaded up their status site. Nada.
(Ofc, in a sensible universe, we just brush that off to a JS/Firefox glitch or my ISP.)
And yet, here I am. My code is not compiling, my AI isn't vibing, nonetheless I can't work! Two more hours before I can get off!
