Let’s hope it’s this. Everyone will just shrug and move onto the next hopefully less evil site

Used to have a manager that we swore did exactly that. Every time he was away on holiday, mysterious site problems to prove his worth!

  I had the exact opposite and it was hilarious. Every time my manager (a great guy and really good at what he did) was away for a week the sprint would go very smoothly.

Lol exactly what I was thinking. I'm trying to keep my tinfoil hat in the closet and yet it seems odd that after there is a huge FB whistleblower story on 60 Minutes last night, all of FB goes down today. I really hope it's just some internal technical error and not a "see, despite the bad things of FB, you really need us" move. It's probably trivial, the timing just seems weird to me.
