> Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance

Yet there are no updates at https://twitter.com/StackStatus suggesting this is a scheduled maintenance

FWIW I don't see it being down from here (Europe). And I see "question asked 1 min ago" so it's probably working at least partially.

it's back now.

And gone again.

It's definitely down again.

It's really unfortunate. I'm currently trying to figure out something in a Makefile and a lot of the answers are on StackOverflow.

If you're reaching those answers via Google, you may view their cached versions.

After 8 years on StackOverflow, I've never seen an unexplained and unanticipated outage like this one. The humor in the twitter feed from 5 hours ago ("We’ve tried unplugging and plugging back in, but that didn’t fix it.") understates the severity of what is happening.

It's been happening multiple times today. I wonder what the cause is.

The cost of turnover, all the minted millionaires have left. It's a shame they didn't pay out to the top contributors.
