I run an engineering department so I’m not speaking from ignorance here. 0 days and bugs making it into prod is a red herring that isn’t part of the discussion. We’re talking about a production platform outright failing because it’s a sinking ship being kept with duct tape.
If Twitter is failing that easily, these engineers deserve to be laid off
- Yoric 4y agoWell, I can only speak from experience. I've encountered all of the points above just during the last 3 weeks or so. I've seen critical infrastructures in former companies being taken down by an expired SSL key or a full hard drive or a power outage or a DDoS. Does your engineering department have a solution to all these problems that does not require human beings? Or are we talking of different things?
- kweingar 4y agoI would be interested to hear which web apps with 100,000,000+ users would run fine for weeks/months without hiccups if 80% of the people running it left overnight.
