twitter also turned off their api for anyone who hadn’t paid them, but didn’t realize their own apps and website use the same api. So the whole site stopped working for like an hour.

      This is like Christmas for the experts in software incidents that I follow. They’re like “I will seriously pay money to be able to go to the post-mortem for this”

          These people are excellent at their craft and their tweets seriously broaden my understanding about incidents:

          Also this dude just rocks, and posts so many insightful things about stuff like systems thinking, software philosophy and Marxism. I wish there were more thinkers like him in our industry:

        Yeah unfortunately losing money on the stock market only really results in making some other rich asshole richer.

        Not just any rich asshole. Isn't one of the people with the most skin in the game one of the saudi princes? Which means Musk might get bonesawed if he becomes to much of a liability
