Barely slept.
Forced to get up

"Ah lol nah actually you could have slept more soz"

@christopherkunz § isn't an ASCII character though, which probably puts it in the same category as ñ or emoji.

Not only adults enjoy #SFSCON26

School kids discovered #Ada and #Zangemann with a reading, some hands-on activities and a surprise after it 😉

You can buy the book at our booth

@puniko ah yeah, I never use that stuff, .ics and portability is a fantasy.

@neil Yeah, I was just using that as an example of sort of its let-me-do-everything-for-you nature. It's similar with SSL certs, and pretty much everything.

Hey, tech enthusiasts! 🎉

INT. REDMOND, BUILDING 34. 3:47 AM. A conference room that smells like cold pizza and regret.

Office 365 EVP: Talk to me. Why is Exchange still down?

MID-LEVEL MANAGER (Dave): So, good news and bad news.

EVP: Give me the good news.

DAVE: We found the service that's failing.

EVP: Great. Who owns it?

DAVE: That's the bad news. It's called auth-bridge-final-v2-REAL. The commit history says it was written by "Copilot" and approved by "Copilot."

EVP: Then get the engineer who prompted it.

DAVE: That was Priya. She was in the Q2 "efficiency realignment."

EVP: Her backup?

DAVE: Also realigned. So was her backup's backup. The whole team is a Slack channel now, and the only one in it is a bot that posts "🚀 LGTM" on every PR.

EVP: Fine. Then we read the code and fix it.

DAVE: We tried. It's 340,000 lines of Python that calls a Rust binary that calls a PowerShell script that curls a Gist. The Gist's README just says "dont touch this lol."

EVP: Documentation?

DAVE: One Confluence page called "Architecture (TODO)." Last edited in 2024. The only content is a Mermaid diagram that fails to render.

EVP: Jesus Christ. Can we roll back?

DAVE: To what? The rollback pipeline was also vibe coded. The last time someone ran it, it rolled back to a version that only existed in the AI's hallucination of what the service should look like.

EVP: So what the fuck have we actually been doing for nine hours?

DAVE: Rebooting servers one at a time and praying. Comms is calling that "restarting affected infrastructure."

EVP: ...Is there anyone left who understands how any of this works?

DAVE: Gary.

EVP: Who's Gary?

DAVE: Contractor. 61 years old. He wrote the original Exchange routing logic in 2003 and he's the only one who knows why there's a sleep(7) in the auth handshake. We let him go in January, but HR forgot to disable his VPN.

EVP: Call Gary.

DAVE: Gary says his rate is now $900 an hour, with a 40-hour minimum, and he wants it in writing that he was right about everything.

EVP: ...Pay Gary.

DAVE: Also, the board wants to know if this will affect the AI efficiency numbers for the earnings call.

EVP: Tell them the outage was caused by "an unexpected interaction during a routine change," and that AI agents are "actively assisting with remediation."

DAVE: Are they?

EVP: Copilot opened a ticket.

DAVE: What did the ticket say?

EVP: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

@Andres4NY My understanding is that Stalwart *can* do this, but that it is not a requirement.

>The evidence against Alice Huang (also reportedly known as Huang Le) is considerably less conclusive than some of the headlines suggest.
whenever some guy gets cancelled for having heterosexual sex with a woman, you just know some political bullshit is going on

One of the blessings of self hosting virtually everything, and work things being as low dependency as possible, is that a major service on the internet can be down and I only really know because fedi is making jokes about it.
