While Slack was down, I completed my million+ LoC side project and cleared out every "tech-debt" ticket in our company's Jira queue.

A great example of everyone relying on one centralised platform for something that (a) doesn't need to be the same as everyone else's and (b) doesn't need to be centralised.

I was so busy today that I either didn't see this, or it just didn't go down in our region 🙃

Slack is reachable for me. I wonder if it's a peerage dispute. Seen those selectively disrupting many services, but only for users on impacted ISPs.
