Readit NewsIf buildings were built the same way modern software gets built, we would never have the Burj Khalifa, the Shanghai Tower or the Tokyo Skytree. We'd probably still be living in holes in the ground, because that's the only fucking 'buildings' we'd be able to build.
Otherwise, we fill the rest of the 30 minutes with discussions about the weather, our hobbies, our daily lives. Given I work fully remotely and live alone (but do maintain a relatively good social life, nonetheless), this is one of the few work meetings I actually look forward to. I'm lucky that my line manager is a really nice person who shares many of my interests and hobbies as well.

* This is a global outage for all FB-related services/infra (source: I'm currently on the recovery/investigation team).
* Will try to provide any important/interesting bits as I see them. There is a ton of stuff flying around right now and like 7 separate discussion channels and video calls.
* Update 1440 UTC: \
As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is likely a symptom of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with Facebook peering routers has gone down, very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC).
There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified.
Part of this is also due to lower staffing in data centers due to pandemic measures.
I would hope that is also taught in management schools, as they appear to be the ones making these decisions.
