GitHub Dies in Russia While Google Sweats
The Russian digital iron curtain just got a massive software update. Local developers woke up to find their favorite code repository completely wiped from the local web, proving once again that the best way to build sovereign tech is to ban the tools to build it.
Local monitoring services reported a total blackout of GitHub starting early in the morning, with network connection failure rates hitting a solid one hundred percent across the entire country.
While the rest of the civilized world continued to commit code and complain about merge conflicts as usual, Russian programmers were left staring at empty loading screens. It appears the digital sovereignty team decided that hosting open-source code is a dangerous Western luxury that local keyboard warriors simply do not deserve.
To make the morning even more entertaining, Google services also decided to join the downward spiral, showing massive drops in availability across multiple regions.
Watching a country systematically isolate its own IT specialists from the global ecosystem is like watching someone cut the branch they are sitting on, while proudly declaring they are inventing a new way to fly. The upcoming era of domestic coding on paper notebooks and stone tablets looks incredibly promising.
