It started for me a few minutes before the status page showed something. Which is understandable, of course.

But strange that it keeps happening almost every day now.

I can confirm this as well. I started seeing 500 errors intermittently when trying to view pages, so I checked status page and saw everything was green. Status page started showing the incident within about 3 minutes of when I started seeing issues. Clearly that's all based on happenstance of when I was landing on GitHub's website, but I have found that of all the status page's by large companies, GitHub's is almost always showing an incident as soon as I start noticing issues myself.

Yeah, I was getting 500s for about three minutes before they posted the status update. I guess it's good that they at least update the status page in a timely fashion, but the third day in a row of downtime is not exactly good service.

Have to give it to them for how useful their status page is. Other products we use play all kinds of word games to downplay issues so they don't have to show them on the status page, which is extremely annoying.
