So not only was it boring, it was also mere fiction.

I just read that Tesla is now the leading car sales in Germany, and I do seem to see a lot of them here in Munich. The sad part is that the biggest challenge isn’t coming from VW or BMW, but from the Chinese. German car makers are taking too long to pivot to electric vehicles, and investing too much in fighting the upcoming ban on making internal combustion engines (set for 2035).

I for my part no longer even click on Twitter links, and am more than happy to just use Mastodon. And my transportation method of choice is called “public transportation”.

This is probably the least important thing in that article to most, but I greatly appreciate the use of the Fail Whale instead of AI-generated images.

“Welp, I just accidentally took down Twitter,” Leah Culver, the engineer, later tweeted. The app eventually came back online after the change was reversed, she said. Ms. Culver did not respond to a request for comment.

While it’s not mentioned in the NY Times article, TechCrunch reported a few days ago that Leah Culver was one of those laid off over the weekend.

I hadn’t put together that one of the people who caused an outage was also on a do not fire list.

I think a good rule of thumb for enterprise devops is, “if a team member is capable of singlehandedly taking down your site, their absence is also capable of singlehandedly taking down your site.”
