    GitHub was Down Today and Users’ Reactions Were Hilarious !

    GitHub was Down Today and Users’ Reactions Were Hilarious !

    Popular source code management portal, GitHub experienced a minor outage today. The outage occurred around 5:30 PM today (Lagos time) according to Techcrunch, when users started to experience issues with the service and weren’t able to check in new code and make pull requests.

    The cause of today’s outage remains unclear but it appears the company belittled its effect at first.

    We are currently experiencing some minor service outages.

    — GitHub Status (@githubstatus) July 31, 2017

    But, it upgraded the status to “major service outage since it affected the GitHub web interface some minutes later.

    We are currently experiencing major service outages.

    — GitHub Status (@githubstatus) July 31, 2017

    The next update showed that the problem was being faced headlong:

    We are continuing to investigate an elevated error rate in web requests to https://t.co/IEoI8IWMw9.

    — GitHub Status (@githubstatus) July 31, 2017

    The company update an hour later showed that the service has been restored and everything is back to normal.

    Everything operating normally.

    — GitHub Status (@githubstatus) July 31, 2017

    This is not the first time GitHub will be facing a major crisis. Recall that back in 2015, GitHub was the victim of a major DDoS attack that plagued the service for a couple of days. A similar attack also took the service down back in 2012.

    Well did the users take the recent downtime?

    Some people felt lucky:

    When you takes nap, wake up, and GitHub is down. Thanks @github for letting me take the day off ❤️❤️❤️

    — Lunorian (@lunorian) July 31, 2017

    Some made it an occasion to teach a moral lesson:

    y’know, if your entire system grinds to a halt when github goes down, you are doing something manifestly wrong

    — queer trans hacker (@euprax1a) July 31, 2017

    Some thought about Armageddon:

    There's trouble brewing for Github too. I wonder if it's related to the sudden explosion of malware

    — a grown man (@praeludia) July 31, 2017

    Some were comical:

    To all my @github ops folks… pic.twitter.com/wC7DqKpsIU

    — Charles Marshall (@cs_marshall) July 31, 2017

    Some were angry:

    the next time i get an email notification because some dumbass is using github issues like a forum i'm posting goatse in the thread

    — daniel (@early90spants) July 31, 2017

    And the others were bright anyway:

    Happy to see #github is back up to stable. That had to be a stressful scramble to fix. Glad you're back up and running @github :clap: pic.twitter.com/NE4AiGoMrB

    — CS (@cschmitz81) July 31, 2017

    So, how did you feel around that period?
