Here's a shoutout to all the on-calls who woke up this morning to deal with "someone else's problem". I think everyone who woke up gets to, at least, order a "fancy coffee" and send the bill to Verizon.

Amen. We need a support group. "Hi, I'm Teejmya, and I was on call last night"

  Yes, apologies and thank you! If you email me (matthewatcloudflaredotcom) your shirt size, preference for men's or women's cut, and your postal address with the subject line: "Verizon BGP Leak On Call Support Group" I'll send you a Cloudflare tshirt. Least we can do.

    I think somebody should make some "I Fixed the Internet after Verizon Broke It. 20190624" T-shirts.

    “Or I would have been if routing was working correctly” There’s a silver lining to everything.

Woke up repeatedly this morning to PagerDuty after working late last night. Threw numerous wailing electronics at wall. Later, ordered several “fancy coffees”. Will be sending bill to Verizon for two phones, a pager, a wall, and three fancy coffees. Edit/Disclaimer: Yes, this is a joke. I woke up to several serious alarms just as the problem was starting. Luckily, I thought to check Cloudflare’s status page from my phone around the second or third time PagerDuty called me. I saw a preliminary notice from them indicating that they were observing networking issues. At that point, I decided I’d rather watch the world burn from my bed than my computer, so I “scheduled” maintenance for a few hours and went back to bed. Our whole infrastructure had split by that point, but there was nothing I could do about it.

I needed to burn some vacation time before EoY when it expires, so I started taking Mondays off once a month. Today was such a day. But I was supposed to be on-call, so I traded a day with a teammate. I went off-call at 8:30am EST. Then, while the internet burned down, I slept in and played video games.
