Just because the social media guy likes to play social media'ish doesn't mean the rest of the team is like that. But definitely not a good moment to make a jok

- arethuza 9y agoSaying things like "ahead of the team passing out" in their latest status updates doesn't exactly give confidence that they have either good communications or engineering leadership.
- bhouston 9y agoIf everyone has been up 24hrs then you will get status updates like that. I guess it is all hands on deck and there isn't a large enough team to do rotations of shifts? Or the issue is very complex and you need all your best guys around to fix it. Yikes. As someone who runs a high availability website, I can feel for them, but it is really bad to be offline this long. I would look to make some changes to that team or address an unstaffing issue or something. This should not happen. This should have been preventable/foreseeable and a risk mitigation strategy could have been in place.
- drinchev 9y agoFrom what I suspect, we are talking about some backend issue that they are handling. Throughout my career I've never seen a "rotating shifts team" that can handle situations like this. It's usually one guy trying to fix it and a couple of others hanging in the office with a cup of coffee and giving advice on what should the company do next or being forced to update the status page.
- rburhum 9y agoThe amount of downtime and how their wire has been for months says that
- nasalgoat 9y agoBased on the text-only homepage, I'd say the tech team is much worse - at least the social media guy is amusing.
