Days when multiple outages happen always remind me of this wonderful article: http://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks

I've never read this til now...it. is. absolute. genius!!! I wish i could give you multiple upvotes for this. Thanks for sharing this!

You should also read James Mickens' USENIX articles if you haven't: http://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens

The humour and tone is similar to the "Programming Sucks" article. I recommend starting with "The Night Watch".

I've read that before, and even have it bookmarked, but it was still worth it to read it again. It's a masterpiece.

...that's something scary to say about the tech industry, right there.
