I didn't read it like that, and I'm usually the first to read things negatively. I read it as motivational: don't feel bad about your own mistakes, even the big guys with tons of money and a lot of really smart people mess up sometimes. So cut yourself some slack and just do the best you can.
- gerdesj 9y ago"Next time your customers bug you about some random downtime caused by an overworked datacenter intern, don't feel stressed. Take the time to remember that even if you would've had billions of dollars, years of experience and thousands of employees, you could've messed up, just like MS did :)" I missed the :) which might sound a bit naff now but was probably intended to deflect comments like mine. Hit taken. However I did invoke BOFH which is (I hope) normally seen as an indication that a comment is not to be taken too seriously. EDIT: BOFH => Negative - nope, not here.
- freehunter 9y agoYou're correct, I read "BOFH" as a negative. I apologize since you did not mean it in that way. I never thought that BOFH would ever be considered the good guy in the story :)
