AWS us-east-1 outage

If you count any time AWS is having a problem that impacts our production workloads then I think it's about 5:1. Dealing with "AWS is down" outages are easy because I can just sit back and grab some popcorn, it's the "dammit I know this is AWS's fault" outages that are a PITA because you count yourself lucky to even get a report in your personalized dashboard.

Yep.

Random aside: any chance you are related to the Calculus on Manifolds Spivak?

I had to log in to say, that one of my favorite quotes of all time I found in Calculus on Manifolds.

He says that any good theorem is worth generalizing, and I've generalized that to any life rule.

Nope, just a fan. It was the book that pioneered my love of math.
