An abrupt, unplanned outage will probably do more to hasten a transition away from these services than any slow, planned transition would.

- johnebgd 5y agoOnly true if this outage is extended.
- SomeBoolshit 5y agoLet's hope for the worst.
- na85 5y agoOne can dream!
- jl6 5y agoMore likely it’ll be fixed by tomorrow and everyone will forget about it by next week. Rare problems aren’t enough to disrupt entrenched systems. It will take users suffering some recurring pain to motivate them to move to another network.
- hinkley 5y agoWith all of the zeal only a young adult can muster, I hated the first people to tell me that they knew about problems and waited for them to break before doing anything. I get no credit for fixing things before they break, and sometimes it's shown up negatively on an annual review. If you have to cajole people to help you start to look pushy, or worst case like a bully. I've heard back from two former employers that the moment I left some manager tried to roll back things I did and be surprised when it turned out that the developers wanted to keep things the way they were. You can see the lights go on for people in the trenches when some bit of software or step saves them from turning a 2 alarm fire into a 5 alarm fire, but the managers don't notice that non-verbal communication, and maybe half the time does someone editorialize the experience for all of the non-technical people (If I do it, it sounds like "I told you so" so I usually don't).
