I really really really love the dichotomy between Skadi being the strongest person on Terra that killed an actual god and then Skadi being the world’s biggest struggler. She’s a sopping wet sad little puppy of a woman who can also cleave through armies with a sword that’s longer than she is tall without breaking a sweat

one thing I think a lot of people don’t understand about the crowdstrike outage is that this wasn’t a freak accident. the only thing notable about it was a scale, and this is just the beginning

like sure, many businesses do things to mitigate the risk of this type of thing like production controls, release schedules, QA, staggered rollouts, etc. but these mitigations just lessen the impact of these thing when they happen. and they do happen. constantly.

CEOs and the board members behind them demand new, complex, revenue generating, features from overworked and underpaid developers (often in exploited nations) who build whatever they can by the deadline and push it to QA.

QA has been cut and what hasn’t been cut has also been outsourced and when testing code that is rushed, there are bound to be a lot of issues. when you don’t have the manpower to test each change exhaustively or the man power to fix seemingly ‘non-impactful’ bugs identified by the QA engineers before pushing to prod, they pile up over time. everything seems to work fine on the surface, but the issues are still happening.

following the trend of lean staffing, production support is absolutely bare bones. the $1M salary tech bros are not developers anymore— they’re security specialists or product managers. the people who actually identify and fix problems make a fraction of the salary and do the work of 6 people and are highly discouraged from fixing or improving anything that doesn’t have an immediate impact on the user base or that doesn’t lead to increased revenue generation.

and not enough people to develop, not enough people to test, not enough people to fix, leads to a janky code base that only survives on luck and goodwill. as the tech bubble continues to burst— with venture capital drying up for tech companies who were never going to be profitable— the people doing this work are only going to get more overburdened.

the small things add up and you never know when an update is going to cause the whole thing to come crumbling down because 6 bugs that were identified and backlogged as ‘low impact’ happened to work together to take your server offline when an update to patch a security vulnerability gets pushed out.

anyone who’s working in tech is familiar with the way these companies are managed. not to position myself as an industry expert, but after working at tech startups in the SaaS space for the last 7 years, I’ve watched this happen (and personally cleaned up) at least 4 times.

I expect that we will continue to see different outages with widespread social and economic impact that will eventually lead the tech bubble to collapse entirely as investors flee en masse to escape the “increased risk of tech industry start ups”.

Luzu: [Spots a baby zombie running at them] NOT– NOT ON MY WATCH, AND IN FRONT OF PHILZA! No!

Phil: Thank you Luzu, you scared him away, look– he was running so fast! [Etoiles and Phil laugh] Good job, good job, good job.

Luzu: I told you– not on my watch, dude.

Phil: Thank you, thank you king, thank you.

Congrats, now all I'm going to be able to think about all day long is Chifeng-zun being stunned into silence by the sight of Meng Yao's braids, the same as if he had never left. His hand reaches out and clenches in mid-air, while Jin Guangyao stands shell-shocked and panicking, or blissfully oblivious to how Nie Mingjue's world is tilting on its axis. He could be mad, the rage that almost let him call the Unclean Realm home making Hensheng thrum: because what right does Nie Mingjue have to want him now, when he finally has a place he belongs? And why does want to quit it all for him?

Anyway, now you can share in my brain worms~

In that moment, something was communicated

unfortunately, neither knew exactly what it was

i know vet prices are out of control expensive but it's because the world is expensive, not greed, and so every time i encounter someone complaining about it in bad faith i want to grab them by the hands with shaking, sweaty desperation and say "on average human nurses are paid 30-50 dollars an hour. vet techs, who are nurses of every department and every specialty and also janitors and mma fighters, are lucky to break minimum wage."
