Nobody here with any thoughts for the operations/datacenter engineers trying to deal with stopping and cleaning up the disaster, just customers complaining...


"Thoughts and Prayers" type comments don't make for particularly interesting reading.

I think it's safe to assume that most people feel empathy for others struggling, whether or not they type it out regularly. Then again, some AI evangelists have had me questioning that assumption lately.


I think people who are complaining are stressed out about their own services being down.

If you’ve only ever used the cloud, you’re not necessarily aware of everything that’s involved at data centers. If you’re not familiar with them, I don’t think you’d know how many things can (literally) blow up in your face. If someone sees flooding, they generally aren’t thinking that it’ll lead to fires.

Anyway, just want to think that everyone generally has good intentions and just don’t know what’s ACTUALLY happening in the DC, or how much work it will be for the folks working in the DC to restore services.

Hopefully all the failsafes kicked in and worked and nobody was injured.


Nope. Big company bad. <Insert snarky overeactionary comment based on armchair knowledge>

Literally no concern here for anyone's safety or sanity in dealing with this.
