This. The fact he describes it as “Fractal of Rube Goldberg” really tells me how much he doesn’t fucking understand IT infrastructure. He makes wild assumptions about the messiness of something with no real proof. I was afraid it was messy and while I suspect some of it is messy with older database tech still in use and other stuff layers in the underlying virtual servers probably handle outages well.
I’ve dealt with people that make assumptions about issue in infrastructure and once they made those assumptions everything going forward was always colored with those bad ideas. One executive always though the databases were a problem even when you would tell them what the actual issue was. I expect it is like that only 1000 times worse given the levels of privilege and yes men he likely surrounds himself with. It’s amazing to watch him interact with programmers and techs who call him on his bullshit and watch him break and throw a tantrum. (Until I realize he still is never going to change and it’s only going to get worse)
Oh god it’s going to get worse when you consider who owns him now:
