@stux LOL, I indeed don't have any issues here.
Even my Windooze 10 Pro still works.

Hi @forthy42 @hllizi
https://meet.ffmuc.net hat gereicht.

@kate it was some status email with a one long text line somewhere in there. dunno why the mail server even accepted that

@k3ym0 Gary would be getting paid $36,000 for five minutes of work would be massively undervaluing himself, and these guys would still try to screw him out of it. Good thing he doesn’t exist

@gamingonlinux No, thank you, that's been the last three weeks for me. (Everybody's sick at home.)

@dgar 😜😂

@ChrisPirillo But was it functional?

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 Interesting - thank you!

PSA: Die #BVG U7 hat zwischen grenzallee und herrmanplatz keinen fahrstrom. Keine Info über Ersatzvekehr bisher.

Hey, lets not feed real art into AI, I actually will challange you here, learn Blender, and create something like this yourself.
