This is the world capitalists are building.

“Gemini Rue” and “Technobabylon” were my favorites, but they recently released a new title about time travel called “Old Skies”.

It actually made me cry and email the studio director. It was a masterpiece.

The first level or two of management are completely useless and operate more as “slave drivers” than engineers.

> Yeah but they wouldn't risk disruption.

Funny, they said the same thing about AWS before layoffs last year.

Because investors aren’t actually very intelligent, beyond some vague desire to “make my money bigger”.

Right after that egregious U.S.-east-1 outage?

There’s clear data that shows an increase in the frequency and severity of LSEs post RTO3 in 2023, and it looks like RTO5 has accelerated that trend.

“Little evidence?” If the “aws” partition doesn’t actually exist when IAD breaks, Amazon hasn’t even discovered how to make multi-region cloud infrastructure. That’s a big deal.

The real story from this incident is that Amazon’s “aws” partition doesn’t actually have multiple regions - effectively, it’s all IAD in a trench-coat.

This is a big deal. My employer has already started to look at bringing back our old racks from storage and switching back to on-premises. Cannot imagine he’s alone in that.
