Are people that reliant on GitHub to cause such a thing?

All of my code lives on GitHub, my employer's repos are there, everything... Yet I've never been like "shit, GitHub is down, I can't work anymore"

This is the first time in a while where I actually saw they were down while it happened.

If you push code often and rely on ci and PRs and issues then you are pretty tied. I think a good portion of it is a bit tongue in cheek, but it’s also a good reminder that you can standup and walk around and be alive.
