In their defense it was probably insanely fragile prior to the AI assisted coding boom.
Given the nesting of services at MS, the fractious org structure, and the length of service of some of these systems it was already a bit of a tinder-house.
AI just provided the accelerant, and while I don’t work at MS I can imagine they’ve lost some serious tenured talent over the last 5 years. I’d be surprised if anyone is left that actually understands how it’s all glued together.
Or rather, that might be the case before this outage. I suspect the org has relearned a fair bit over the last day.
Is it "meddling with other countries" if he's a citizen of that country?
However I am of the belief that if someone doesn't live in a country and has no intention to, they should recuse themselves from that country's politics. I have citizenship of a country I don't live in and have never voted there, although I am eligible to.
Trump and co have done so many awful things that I forgot about their gutting of the EPA. There is no punishment fitting for him and the idiots who voted for him. A significant amount seem to prowl around HN I'll add. They can read and write but can't think apparently.
Tesco are indeed suing Broadcom in the UK, because they bought what was sold as a "perpetual" license. And also complaining to the UK competition regulator.
