Is it just me or is tech increasingly breaking down?

The layoffs are finally paying off..

I just took a peek at the status and outage history of $dayjob[-1]. Seems they've been having an order of mag more problems since they laid off everybody who knows how servers work.

Oh, well... ~~

It's not just you (as is with all these kinds of questions). It's an observable trend. As complexity rises, potential for errors rise.

I don't think it's complexity as such, but bad management and/or lack of care in general.

That too. But also proportional to growing complexity. More complex things to manage makes more room for mistakes in management. With maybe even the epitome being "ah fuck it"
