PwnallthethingsCurious if there's any good examples of firms in the past that laid off 90% of its staff and survived before?
herid@Pwnallthethings is it really 90%? kind of amazing twitter is still up.
wompy@herid @Pwnallthethings it will run fine until there is some odd quirk or tribal knowledge that comes up. I worked at a place that cycled servers behind HA proxy because of a memory leak issue. I’m sure there is some bug that a core team only knows how to deal with and prevent.
Yohannon@wompy @herid @Pwnallthethings Can totally back this up; I've also been in places where a change that doesn't take effect until reboot can be lurking for MONTHS afterwards, a reboot happens... BOOM. Those are damnably hard to figure out if the person isn't there and it was never doc'd.
