The first two stories are notable in how they reflect the terrible practices of the teller.

"Our distributed application produces the same type of error after the same period of time in totally different data centers. We have no idea why, but moving data centers seems to help, so we just keep doing it. #YOLO"

"We've built a product on a data store and library we don't understand even the highest-level constraints of. That ignorance bit us in the ass at peak load. We patched over the problem and continue gleefully into the future. #YOLO"

These stories should be embarrassing, but they're seemingly being celebrated, or at least laughed about. Am I off base?
