Outlook is down, and so is Microsoft's status page

When I first saw this I commented it must be bad, but that was 4 hours ago after a whole day of "welp i guess i'm not emailing anyone and meetings are pushed.".

It's 7PM PST now and I cannot imagine how fucking on fire things must be for it to not only still be down, but basically with no real communication from what i've seen (like yes there's updates, but not the "root cause found, triaging".)

In an era where everyone's vibe coding Excel clones, this is NOT the time to be fucking up your KEY moat on a catastrophic level.

I mean, they still have zero idea what the root cause is 12 hours later.

That's fucking terrifying if true. Guess i'm going to have to watch the tracker as well. I'll live but another "history in the making" moment

Not sure why the execs and VPs aren't asking their AI agents to triage. They've been implying they don't need engineers anymore, isn't this the best time to prove themselves right?
