    I don’t have hard evidence for this (might try and find some at some point though), but I feel like outages have become progressively more common in the last 4-5ish years.

    Feels like every time the AI tools “get better” there’s an increase and no one gives a shit. Like, what the fuck? When did stability and reliability become so irrelevant to people?

    Hell, GitHub might as well just close up shop with the amount of outages it’s had recently! I get that the bubble is a bubble but how has AI not cost companies enough in outages to show it’s a waste???

      I wouldn’t be surprised if, between forced RTO, layoffs, and general unpleasantness, some of the tech workers quietly sabotaged the services through sheer negligence.

      Could be due to the prolific centralisation of major infrastructure and services. Also, people just keep paying regardless of poor stability due to vendor lock-in.
