if github had an outage
and was offline for 48 hours
what would catch fire?
if there was a bgp fuckup, and github was misrouted to anthropic, how many cicd pipelines would catch fire because claude is built in now?
cuz you know
im just curious
how many companies are you aware of that had "oh fuck someone actually blew up the datacenter" in their threat model or DR recovery efforts?
how many are like "whatevs, our shit is in the cloud and all the contract language has us well protected against lawsuits if shit goes down"?
how many do you think realize that attitude towards technology solves for "the lawsuits after the fact" but does absolutely zero for business continuity?
Lemniscate@Viss Back in the day, I worked somewhere that had a data center approach for almost all the services that could deal with one of the sites abruptly vanishing if it came to it. And one of the biggest problems we had was with software vendors that couldn’t seem to conceive of this and struggled to implement measures we needed to support that.
The company wrote most of its own software, but boy, did we have to have some arguments about the stuff we didn’t write. Had one vendor - who we did not select for purchase after this behaviour! - very snottily tell us ‘you don’t need that’ when we asked about a feature that supported some data redundancy we DID very much need.
@Viss Of course, then came acquisitions and “the cloud” and a seeping away of people who knew and cared how to do stuff right. I expect what’s left of that environment today, if anything, is very fragile.
