It’s great to hear that it wasn’t the result of something malicious (e.g. a hack). But this has to be one of the longest outages by a company this big ($50B market cap), at least in the past decade it seems?
- vmception 5y agoWhat I love most then is that its the largest and it doesn't matter! In this market they will become an even larger company because competency has no correlation to how much money subscribers/advertisers will pay, and none of that has any correlation to what investors will pay! Anybody optimizing for competence is exchanging time for food and shelter and just gets to be reminded of the much harder game they are playing that produces much less optimal results of money.

- cottager2 5y agoMaybe your definition of competence is wrong? A lot of people can build systems with some number of 9s of availability, but how many people can build a 50B company?
- djbusby 5y agoI can do the 9s. So, that's common I'd wager. $50B is hella hard tho. It's hard work to just get to $10M (w/o outside money) and even with outside money 100M is still very hard.
- akersten 5y agoOne is luck and the other is engineering. From the looks of it, this is a high luck, low competency endeavor.
- whateveracct 5y agoAnd Roblox is already well beyond the luck threshold
- vmception 5y agoIts not related at all, its a discussion about the trading market conditions Didn't realize I struck a cord here I’m literally making fun of the people that would try to draw this distinction and … you showed up? Huh Sometimes I forget that the market reality changes faster than cultural conditioning Change faster

- swader999 5y agoSome level of intensity is warranted. Things got real pretty fast here this past week when my eight year old was home on a school PD day.
