To be facetious... work.

I did far more work than usual and now my product lead is going to expect this to happen every sprint. They'll be so disappointed.

Interesting. I fell into a hopeless pit of despair and got far less work done as a result. I need my soma fix.

I released the first version of a status page driven by uptime monitoring an hour before the first outage. Figured I'd point it at Hacker News to get an update when my uptime monitoring detected it was up again. The second outage gave me time to dogfood it a bit: https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/incidents/0LB6mQLmkozD

So … are you saying you're responsible for the outage?

I started reading Crafting Interpreters [1]. It's great so far!

Finish the tickets, but don't close the tickets ;)

I actually opened slashdot.org, first time in like 10 years, probably. Still there...

I checked in there a few months ago and regretted it. It's like while I'm now ten years older, it stayed the same age (well, those commenting).

I mean... if the demo-gods were behaving as usual, the outage would never have happened

I smugly commented "Dang" on one of the status updates on twitter and spent time with my girlfriend. Now HN is up again and I spend time consuming meta-content regarding the outage (such as this thread).

Have a great weekend everyone!
