  • > Do the others you mentioned provide such detailed outage reports, within 24 hours of an incident? I’ve never seen others share the actual code that related to the incident.

    Azure (albeit pretty old): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devopsservice/?p=17665

    AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/

    GCP: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1S...

    The code sample might as well be COBOL for people not familiar with Rust and its error handling semantics.

    > Or the CEO or CTO replying to comments here?

    I've looked around the thread and I haven't seen the CTO here nor the CEO, probably I'm not familiar with their usernames and that's on me.

    > This is not press release, they always did these outage posts from the start of the company.

    My mistake calling them press releases. Newspapers and online publications also skim this outage report to inform their news stories.

    I wasn't clear enough on my previous comment. I'd like all major players in the internet and web infrastructure to be held to higher standards. As it stands when it comes to them or the tech department of a retail store the retail store must answer to more laws when surface area of combined activities is took into account.

    Yes, Cloudflare excels where others don't or barely bother and I too enjoyed the pretty graphs, diagrams and I've learned some nifty Rust tricks.

    EDIT: I've removed some unwarranted snark from my comment which I apologize for.

  • It's actually weird to me how none of the big players put their money where their mouth is and vibe coded a new IDE built from the ground up for this paradigm shift regardless of tech stack.

  • Yeah, I don't quite understand the people cutting Cloudflare massive slack. It's not about nailing blame on a single person or a team, it's about keeping a company that is THE closest thing to a public utility for the web accountable. They more or less did a Press Release with a call to action to buy or use their services at the end and everybody is going "Yep, that's totally fine. Who hasn't sent a bug to prod, amirite?".

    It goes over my head why Cloudflare is HN's darling while others like Google, Microsoft and AWS don't usually enjoy the same treatment.

  • I also recommend "Death with Interruptions" by the same author. I too was blindsided by how it was written but once you get used to the style it just flows.

  • Commented: "iPhone Pocket"

    Yep, lots of people doing knowledge work vastly underestimate the material cost, effort and skill associated with artisan goods. On one hand I blame modern manufacturing which justifies this ignorance somewhat but on the other hand I die a little inside when I hear about people willing to fork over large sums to something better advertised.

    Though it's worth mentioning that some people are jumping into hand crafted stuff as a business first, cranking out subpar cookie cutter designs and while not terribly expensive and still a minority it's worth making sure you support people who care about the craft first. A category to watch out for is minimal leather wallets, while quality leather and correct thread selection practically guarantee the wallet will last, the care put into making it determines how enjoyable it will be to use.
