Wow, just plain 500s on customer sites. That's a level of down you don't see that often.

Yeah that's a hard 500 right? Not even Cloudflare's 500 branded page like last time. What could have caused this, I wonder.

I hope it’s not another Result.unwrap().

Yes. Weird that https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ isn't reporting this properly. It should be full of red blinking lights.

Management is always going to take too long (in an engineer’s opinion) to manually throw the alerts on. They’re pressing people for quick fixes so they can claim their SLAs are intact.

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.

Lots of big sites are down

That's the 30% vibe code they promised us. Cynicism aside, something seems to be going wrong in our industry.

Also “Rewrite it in Rust”. P.S. it’s a joke, guys, but you have to admit it’s at least partially what’s happening

No, it has nothing to do with Rust.
