Are we relieved to know that Microsoft's massive outage isn't due to hacking, but rather incompetence?

@dangillmor yes maybe now the last idiot on this planet realizes how #corrupt #fuckedup and #stupid #microsoft #softwarequality has been since decades X-D
they never managed to deliver #quality of #software written on a #debian #gnu #linux if you read this on #windows you are a god damn ....
@dangillmor ever since they started using copilot to code their own stuff I've had a gradually worse experience writing in their tools and services.
@dangillmor Did they vibecode azure?
As I wrote here in a german rant post, the availability feeling with bullshit tool lotus notes was much better.
M$, wtf is this sh*t?
If Microsoft knew what caused the outage they may have fixed it.
Both hacking and incompetence remain active possibilities with precedent.
@dangillmor 60 000 people fired + vibe coding. Predictable I will say. When the c level will understand that experience and competency beat stochastic parots trained on entry level code? Probably never.
What's the chance that all the vibe coding accidentally deleted something very important?
@dangillmor Being hacked is also a sign of incompetence. They are so incompetent that it doesn't even need any sort of malicious behavior to crack them down.
@dangillmor AI lets us fire everybody that gets paid a lot for knowing things.
@dangillmor Did someone hand control over to #AI?! 😱
@dangillmor Well, better than knowing that North Korea now owns all our base. Maybe?
Relieve? No.
Schadenfreude? Yes.
I raise my morning tea to the 60.000 people laid off by Microsoft.
@dangillmor yes their incompetence is known for decades: Windows ME, Vista, 8… Crowdstrike bug… the weather app using 1.4Gb of RAM on Win 11… Microslop AI. I was very suspicious of Windows XP or 7, too perfect to embody the brand’s image.
@dangillmor Hanlon's Razor is seldom wrong
@dangillmor are we certain about that yet though?
