Funny how even safe Rust isn’t able to stop vibecoding without a proper validation. And the fact that it's a monopoly isn't so funny anymore.

There is no language that makes it impossible to have any kind of bug ever. The safety languages like Rust offer is around memory, not bad configuration or faulty business logic.

So DownDetector is down, but DownDetectorDownDetector does not detect it... We probably need one more DownDetector. (no)

We have one. But according to Down Detector's Down Detector's Down Detector's Down Detector, that's also down.

This is not good. One major outage? Something exceptional. Several outages in a short time? As someone thats worked in operations, I have empathy; there are so many “temp havks” that are put in place for incidents. but the rest of the world won’t… they’re gonna suffer a massive reputation loss if this goes on as long as the last one.

This is a good reminder for everyone to reconsider making all of their websites depend on a single centralized point of failure. There are many alternatives to the different services which Cloudflare offers.
