Is it at all achievable to be fronted by a CDN but fallback to the raw server in case the front falls off? Better to be vulnerable to DDoS than be unreachable altogether

#145Funny 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.
Rust is one of the few languages where I found AI to be very well checked. The type system can enforce so many constraints that you do avoid lots of bugs, and the AI will get caught writing shit code. Of course, vibe coding will always find a way to make something horribly broken but pretty.
I have noticed LLMs tend to generate very verbose code. What an average human might do in 10 LoC, LLMs will stretch that to 50-60 lines. Sometimes with comments on every line. That can make it hard to see those bugs.

It's 1AM in San Francisco right now. I don't envy the person having to call Matthew Prince and wake him up for this one. And I feel really bad for the person that forgot a closing brace in whatever config file did this.

If a closing brace take your whole infra. down, my guess is that we'll see more of this.

#148Interestingly enough, also some MS/Azure services are down. For example https://www.office.com/ just returns: >We are sorry, something went wrong. >Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please visit status.cloud.microsoft for updates regarding known issues. The status page of course says nothing
Linkedin -> the same
