I'm sorry. Am I the only one not getting all the Github/Stackoverflow/whatever down threads? What's interesting about it? Sites are down from time to time, if they are and you need then, you probably notice. Otherwise, if you don't need them you obviously don't care...

Are you sure you are in the right place? It certainly seems relevant to "Hacker News" to me.

  In HN not all are developers or coders. Edit: someone who use stackoverflow at least once a day

  From the Guidelines: "What to submit <snip> anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Submitting a website down page does not gratify one's intellect, its just stating a fact. A post-downtime review would classify as gratifying. Please people stop submitting website down articles, they are always back up by the time I get to them and there is not explanation as what happened and why.

For me, I found them interesting because they are among the biggest, highly reputable websites for developers. I am also excited to know what causes the down time and how they addressed the problems if there are.

I find it interesting because SO is run by top-notch ops and dev people and the outage reasons could well be educational. What happened? Why? What can we all learn from it?

  Okay, but why not just link to a writeup of what the issue was afterwards. THAT would be interesting. The fact that it is down right now. Not so much, imho.

+1. Posting about it here doesn't help, fix, or even educate anyone. It's more "water cooler conversation" than informative. Major planned maintenance (esp. for GitHub which people rely on for pushing code) would be good so we can plan workarounds or defer deployment, but otherwise not.

  It's not just water cooler conversation, it causes said conversations to occur.

Sometimes sites are not down and you need them but you are unable to open them. Same reason sites like these exist https://status.github.com/ https://status.github.com/ http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status
