It's notable that they blame "our upstream provider" when it's quite literally the same company. I can't imagine GitHub engineers are very happy about the forced migration to Azure.
Being happy means:
- you don't feel the need to automate more manual tasks (you lack laziness)
- you don't feel the need to make your system faster (you lack impatience)
- you don't feel the need to make your system better (you lack hubris)
So basically, happiness is a Sin.
It isnt actually all that much but most devs who have all of these I've come across are happy.
As in why don't they mention Azure by name?
Or as in there shouldn't be isolated silos?
Like imagine if AWS was composed of separate companies for different services - Fargate was an Heroku acquisition say - and then they all went down and blamed their 'upstream provider' because they can't work without say VPC or EC2 availability.
I think that's all GP meant, it just reads a bit funny, not that it's wrong.
