Was the sarcasm an attempt to discredit criticism of Fly's operational processes by pointing out that another company also has issues in how they handle outage notifications?
- stephenr 3y agoYou could have just answered my previous question with "No, I am not familiar with sarcasm". Because you clearly don't understand sarcasm, I'll be blunt: No, I'm not trying to discredit any criticism of this provider. I agree with the comment I replied to, that this kind of failure mode is fucking ridiculous. My response thus is not an attempt to normalise this, but to highlight the elephant in the room, which is that AWS - the gold standard for "hosting" services for many a startup and techbro - *also* has Rube Goldberg like levels of interdependence that cause cascading failures *every time* something goes wrong, and *also* have a status board so confidently green that it may as well be an ad for lawn care products.
