I am getting either the offline message or an error that says there was an error and the error page also had an error.
" An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated. "

Not a chance it is coincidence. The only common thread may be usage of some cloud service provider though I don't think there is anything common between them all.
I would be curious if other popular tech/programmer sites are under attack and just thwarting it better?

The common in-between is the users. I hope this isn't the case, but if hacker was able to get access to any MongoHQ db there probably is so much time needed, until you find a db holding full-text passwords.
Still, in order to do any damage to the application/platform the hacker should be aware of procedures for remote work (administration/support/development) in order to log-in and make a mess.
edit: bitbucket down as well. Geek Armageddon!
