My apologies, that came off a bit harsh.

> Was it specific services within GitHub that failed a lot?

Well, everything from its frontends, to the CI service, to the Git service itself. People weren't able to push, pull, deploy or review code for hours at a time. Just major disruptions all around, which happened regularly.

I do think this has improved slightly over the past few months, but you were lucky if you weren't affected much.

No worries you’re fine. I guess downtime was much more widespread than I could even imagine.

I do remember one time all of us at work joking that we should get the day off when GitHub was done. :D
