I am sick of the "They are transparent so it's ok" argument. The fact is this type of thing should not happen anymore.. I get it, stuff fails but it's not acceptable to lose production data at this scale and save face by being transparent. That was ok back in 2003.. Not anymore.
- seanp2k2 10y agoCompare with Github and their 98.935% uptime over the past month: https://status.github.com/graphs/past_month https://status.github.com/graphs/past_month Neither should be exclusively relied upon for business-critical services. Ask Github about their production backups and DR plans some time.

- anonymous_green 10y agoProbably they cut cost by hiring a group of really incompetent set of developers because they are a "startup" and "transparent" and "its ok". Nothing could make state of the company more "transparent" than that. xD
