I used to not really understand why GitHub being down sent people into a fervor, since you know, git is distributed and you can just work without it.
But then just a few minutes ago, a 'brew update' failed because the recipes are hosted on github. Then, 'opam install' failed (which is why I was updating brew) because it too, is on Github. Then I went searching for build failures, and the answer was in a GitHub issue thread, with a link to a pull request that fixed the issue.
No, I don't have a solution to doing this better, but man do you feel the fragility of these systems when one component goes down.
