On a few forum sites I'm on, people are just giving up. Looking forward to the post-mortem on how they weren't ready for this (with just a tiny bit of schadenfreude because they've interviewed and rejected me twice).

They sabotaging OP just for a reverse schadenfreude play

I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically.

This sure doesn't help with that impression, and it hasn't just been a momentary glitch but hours of instability. And the Netflix status page saying "Netflix is up! We are not currently experiencing an interruption to our streaming service." doesn't help either...

From my experience, it works if your not watching it 'live'. But the moment I put my devices to 'live' it perma-breaks. 504 gateway timed out in web developer tools hitting my local CDN. probably works on some CDNs, doesnt on others. Probably works if your not 'live'

edit: literally a nginx gateway timed out screen if you view the response from the cdn... wow
