A comment on GitHub down.

Why do they even have a status page if it shows nothing and was updated "a day ago"...

It’s been on Hacker News for two minutes. Your reply is one minute ago. Perhaps you should check your SLA with GitHub, but presumably it doesn’t say that 60 second delays is the same as the status page being effectively useless.

Also, it was updated by the time you posted your reply...

I mean, no system is perfect. Maybe their status page only queries their site every 5 minutes? Give them a break.

As of 7:20AM PST, it's on there. So it took them 4 whole minutes since this thread was created to get it on there. That's pretty good response.

Status page updated. I guess they wait a few minutes to reduce false positives.

They're taking a page out of AWS' playbook :D
