Why are there outages everywhere all the time now? AWS, Azure, GitHub, Cloudflare, etc. Is this the result of "vibe coding"? Because before "vibe coding", I don't remember having this many outages around the clock. Just saying.

FYI in an emergency you can edit files directly on Github without the need to use git. Edit: ugh... if you rely on GH Actions for workflows though actions/checkout@v4 is also currently experiencing the git issues, so no dice if you depend on that.

Yup, we were just trying to hotfix prod and ran into this. What is happening to the internet lately.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Eh, the lesson from us-east-1 outage is that you should cling to the big ones instead. You get the convenience + nobody gets mad at you over the failure.

Everything will have periods of unreliability. The only solution is to be multi-everything (multi-provider for most things), but the costs for that are quite high and hard to see the value in that.

yes, but if you are going to provide assurances like SLAs, you need to be aware of your own allow for them. if you're customers require working with known problem areas, you should add a clause exempting those areas when they are the cause.

I think it has more to do with layoffs.

"Why do we need so many people to keep things running!?! We never have downtime!!"
