Haha, I wonder how many of us came here because we couldn't push or pull commits, so just taking a HN reading break... and boom the top post is about Github!

Yeah maybe we should switch to a distributed VCS so that we don't have this problem anymore.

When Github appears down, I come to HN to find out if it's affecting everyone :p

'Gee, github is down. Is it just me? Better check HN!' Exactly what I just did too.

This is what I do as we'll. :)

I first check their Twitter account, and then when there's nothing there about an outage (currently isn't), I come here.

https://status.github.com/ is perhaps more useful?

Generally, but I believe it's on the same network, so it may be down as well.
