GitHub Service Outage (github.com)
New submitter thebigjeff writes: Beginning at around 7:30pm EST on 1/27/2016, GitHub's core services have been offline. Most repositories and other functionality is inaccessible. The status page is calling it a "significant network disruption."
More from The Register: GitHub falls offline, devs worldwide declare today a snow day.
So: no incoming bugs or feature requests, no merging other people's code, nobody pinging you every 5 minutes? Around here that's called "a day where I can be productive".
