Currently trying to order room service in a hotel from xxxxx.menu.org.Uk
It isn’t loading, just sits there spinning. Pile of shit. I wish they’d chosen to write the service as a reliable cgi rather than some web framework where errors are eaten and hidden in Ajax calls.
Uber eats let’s me place the order then vanishes when it comes to paying.
Nandos yesterday told me error UK03 when I tried ordering in the restaurant, slightly better, but perhaps those more concerned with scaling to a million concurrent users could deal with 1000 reliably first.
- whelming_wave 5y agoI mean, on the other hand you could be dealing with an unreliable CGI-served page where errors are eaten and hidden in ajax calls, wishing they’d used a reliable javascript framework[1] instead. [1]: an oxymoron, I know
- midasuni 5y agoThe point is that people spend far too much effort worrying about the ten millionth user rather than concentrating on making a reliable product for the hundred or two they have. “Can’t use cgi because we can only support 100 concurrent users per VM” is meaningless, concentrate on the real problem of building a site that doesn’t crash out silently
