He created that drama when he tried to gaslight the entire tech industry into thinking 90% of engineering jobs were redundant, you can’t expect anything else than for him to get dunked on when the completely predictable consequences of that play out, namely that the service will get more and more unreliable over time.

It does hurt the proud IT worker in me, the knowledge that half of us can be thrown away and almost nobody notices.

Perhaps the takeaway is that we should get our shit together. The opposite of r/antiwork.

No. I think the people creating drama here should take responsibility and act like professionals.

No need to pull out terms like gaslighting to justify creating more drama.

A 1 hour downtime is nothing.

> A 1 hour downtime is nothing.

If it’s nothing, why is Musk on Twitter saying the whole codebase is brittle for no reason, and needs a complete rewrite? Sounds like a pretty big deal to me.

As far as the drama comment, you’re free to disengage from this thread at any time. No need to continually interject how against the drama you are. Just leave if you find it distasteful.

A 1 hour down time every infrequently is nothing, but at the same time a codebase can be brittle. Are you saying the two are mutually exclusive?

Brittle code means it's hard to change, and causes issues when changed, but other than that it's stable when running.

And I have every right to point out the drama here. People here do somewhat have the right to create drama, but it is distasteful and unprofessional and I will continue to call it out.

Glad for you to admit there is drama here though :)
