>"fucked up" blames the developers - did you really intend to say they fucked up, by providing a non-critical service that's very usable almost all the time and has cache coherency issues occasionally. Missing chat history is not a serious technical deficiency if it can be simply re-requested. If you really wanted to rant at them and say their service is fucked up, then downvotes are deserved.

I'm guessing you don't use IRCCloud very much then?

It's not just cache coherency issues, IRCCloud slows to a crawl/stops working entirely when there's bigger splits.

And when are the developers not to blame? If you write code that doesn't work it tends to be your fault that it doesn't work, unless of course management forced you to write bad code.

No, I'm just annoyed by how he completely sidestepped the actual underlying issues, e.g their service being unable to support their current user counts.
