A system with a single failure point is inherently unstable. It's not a question of if it will fail but when it will fail.

- busterarm 1y agoThere wasn't a single failure point until Sidekiq pulled their funding, that's why Ruby Central's reaction to impending failure, as you said, was so extreme.
- marcinzm 1y agoSo not a single point of failure but the single action of Sidekiq's pulling funding was the cause... almost as if Sidekiq's funding was the single point of failure. If this is the reaction of the Ruby Community then no wonder they got themselves into this mess to begin with. Like deciding the intern should be fired for dropping prod and not the CTO who told everyone to use admin permissions for everything.
