Thanks for sharing. I overheard someone on my team say that a production user is having problems with our service. The team checked AWS status, but only took notice of the green checkmarks. Through some dumb luck (and desire to procrastinate a bit), I opened HN and, subsequently, the AWS status page and actually read the US-EAST-1 notification. HN saves the day.

Same here, was eating lunch and browsing HN when hipchat started lighting up with customer complaints.

On thing I learned here. When something seems horribly wrong, check HN first, it may be "global" problem.
