What usually happens with CircleCI after a GitHub outage is that they're hit with a flood of GitHub webhooks when GitHub comes back online. Then Circle starts to slow down under the load of all of the new jobs that have been queued.
One usually causes the other, so we shouldn't infer anything larger from that datapoint.
In this case, CircleCI and Github were down at the same time, and seemed to come out of it around the same time too. I don't know what to infer from that either.
