> 09:14 MST Major service outage.

It's been 4 minutes, so I highly doubt anybody at GitHub even knows yet. Maybe one guy who's thinking a lot of "oh crap, oh crap, oh crap" right now.

Pretty sure devops at a service like Github have slack alerts and/or something like pagerduty. They'll be drowning in alerts.

Rumors are that they edited some JSON files. Not a good day to touch JSON.

It just went down about 10 minutes ago, you'll have to wait a bit for an explanation...
