Microsoft services are still experiencing a major global outage, even tho Microsoft said they fixed it & service started recovering. Outlook, Teams & Copilot remain disrupted in 74 countries as Microsoft reports 'marginal success' in fixing it. However, their own users online/status page disagree with them. So much vibe coded stuff has been deployed past 2 years that nobody knows what broke it & none of their AI is able to fix the mess while they replaced IT staff with AI https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/11/13/microsoft-hit-by-global-outages-what-happened-and-why

Note to Microsoft: Lay off a few thousand moar people and see if that fixes your problems.
@nixCraft this is not the death nail of Microsoft, just another day with another shitty company being shitty, and that’s really it. No surprises here. Just another day to put anything up to enrage engagement by mentioning Microsoft. Well done influencer.
@nixCraft The article quotes someone as saying that AI may have taken focus off of infrastructure and older products, but it does not provide evidence that AI use in development was a cause.
I understand the reason behind this sort of speculation, but I think it's better to be clear that you're speculating, especially around news.
@nixCraft Less loss than the world might think.
@nixCraft “At this time, we have no evidence of malicious activity associated with this incident.”
Yeah they vibe coded themselves into a shithole.

> Goodwins also said many experienced engineers have left Microsoft. “It’s not so much that there aren’t enough human eyes, but all the experienced people, the people who built the stuff up, have left,” he said. “There’s been a draining of corporate memory of how these systems are built up and how they work.”
