Every time AWS, Heroku, GitHub, Twitter is down it gets posted here and this is exactly the discussion the takes place: Commenter1: Well they should've never relied on X platform. Single point of failure, etc. Replyers: It's not Platform X's fault, the engineers should've set up servers like XYZ. It's not like it's hard to do. Then someone says their app is down, someone else says this sucks, some statistics on uptime get thrown about, and the exact same conversation ensues as the last time any other service went down. So my honest and sincere question is this: why? Why do "Service X is down" posts get posted and upvoted to the front page? Why do we all have the same discussion each time it happens? It just seems like there's just nothing else to say about it and these sites have status pages where we can all find out for ourselves if they're down or not, so why are we repeating ourselves?
