Its a mix. I'm sitting here trying to replicate a service across multiple zones this mornin— oh, it's not morning any more sigh — and, well, Code: ReconcileVMSSAgentPoolFailed Message: We are unable to serve this request due to an internal error At some point/level, Azure can't¹, so I can't. There's GCP, but high switching costs. (¹this is a fractal error, too. Part incompetence, part societal and economic factors way out of certainly my control.) But absolutely there is incompetence. I fielded this, this week: "the tests broke", "oh, sorry about that. I've introduced a bug. a while later It's fixed now." "the test is still broke for me?" "… you need to pull the fix…?" I've got another dev staunchly refusing to enable the logging necessary to print tracebacks, … while simultaneously being perplexed by a bug we're facing. IDK what's causing the bug either … but, IDK, let's get some logs in the meantime? Higher ups wondering "why can't anyone answer technical questions? How are our devs so incompetent that they don't know the answers?" after the entire team that managed the component to which the question is directed at has been laid off. I've answered questions in the form of, A: We do X. Here's a screenshot. <screenshot> Me: Where in your screenshot is X? A: Oh, you're right. Often enough that sometimes I wonder if ChatGPT hasn't already replaced some of the people around me.
