A colleague of mine just came bursting through my office door in a panic, thinking he brought our site down since this happened just as he made some changes to our Cloudflare config. He was pretty relieved to see this post.
Is there a word for that feeling of relief when someone else fucked up after initially thinking it was you?
The German word “schadenfreude” means taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune; enjoyment rather than relief.
