The Observation Deck » Twitter, when the wall came down

@bcantrill It really has happened even faster than I anticipated. I wonder when the first big outage will occur?
@dorianlistens Yeah, I wonder too -- and I wonder what the manifestations will be, exactly. Will it be that things just... don't work sometimes? Or will it look more like an outage? Or will it just be that all of the caloric budget will be dedicated to keeping the duct tape on, and they won't be able to do any of the feature work that Musk is demanding? Or will the feature work just be incredibly shoddy? I mean, at some level, all seem likely?
@bcantrill Yeah, I wonder. I expect there will be lots of little things, but I would also be surprised if there isn't a days-long outage before the end of the year.
@dorianlistens @bcantrill I’ve been taking to folks who’ve also noticed slowness and increased errors already. Could be confirmation bias or frequency illusion or something but it feels pretty real. Hard to believe they would have shut off a lot of infra already but everything he does is hard to believe.
@dorianlistens @bcantrill Their certificate expires in March...
