I see a lot of analysis here that this is good for Ant, but I beg to differ, it's a very bad place to be as a company serving enterprises when deployment risk is now present. This might delay Ant's financial goals in their ability

huh- I guess there are two HN submissions with meaningful replies... I said this in the other thread, we got access to our account back, but even with a Account Rep. and a CSM on our account- it still took them a while to figure out what

Actually, when I made the TOS check, I put that in Redis. That + the feature flags got reset.

They deleted our GCP proj. sans warning. Still working the details, but that's how this whole thing began.

> decisions are easy to criticize in hindsight I mean, the pain we have caused our customer ultimately proves you correct. That said, we made our decisions with the information and constraints that we knew in that moment in time. Railway

We have a CSM, Head of Customer Support contact, and further contacts with GCP. Despite that, we still had this issue.

Yea, I mean, that's the whole MO of our platform and we failed at that. So yea, that's disappointing and more so for our customers. I can provide an explanation about the GCP dependency. Yes, we have host workloads off GCP, and we

I think the intent of Mike Judge's joke was less so an outright promotion of eugenics and more so mocking the upper crust of American society's approach to family planning. (That of which Judge was intimately familiar with during

We have more info coming soon but I think the best way to frame this is actually working backwards and then explain how it impacted yours and other services. So Railway (and other cloud providers) deal with fraud near constantly. The intern

Hey there Dave, Angelo from Railway here- First off, super duper sorry. It's sometimes a good/bad thing if I can remember someones handle. ...and I specifically remember the support thread where we did have an outage before your d

(Angelo from Railway here) Heard. Being transparent, usually the delay on ack is us trying to determine and correlate the issue. We have a post mortem going out but we note that first report was in our system 10 minutes before it was acked,

Angelo from Railway here, Railway runs our own metal for the sheer reason to preserve margins so we can run for perpetuity. We're nuts for studying failure at the company and Heroku's margins was one of the things we considered to

I think this acquisition makes a lot of sense and it's good business. Finding good MacOS developers who know the system level APIs more so than the docs is a tough go. It would make a lot of sense that OpenAI would just go ahead and hi

The unfortunate irony is not lost on me that Windbourne's H1 is "record breaking Weather Balloons". I don't think any company would want this record. I am very glad the pilot and the souls on board are safe.

Author here, not my intent! My deepest apologies. English is my first language but people do joke that they say I write English like I learned it as a second language. I have fixed the sentence fragment and connected the two thoughts togeth

I am more than happy to add color here, I am sorry, I try my best to write everything but my editor cuts as much as I add. We also tend to hire really autonomous engineers who tend to like just going off on their own to try to solve the iss

Hello there! Author there, and surprised/delighted with the response. I don't think we had the issue with the cadence, the quarter is arbitrary, but we think it gives us the ability to just go heads down to focus. With that said,

Slight tangent brought up by the article, but usually the greats aren't good at just one thing but have a combination of eccentricities that form the person. I find it heartening that Cormac had these in spades.

It brings me no joy to say that now that I am on the maintainer side of some OSS, Hacktoberfest is a fear inducing event where people would just submit junk PRs just so they could get a T-Shirt... We're so far from the original spirit

Yea, I found the article to be overly reductive. I work on a shared ownership codebase, which at times, I am not going to be able to pull the original author at all times when I work on my branch. At least having a partner explain some aspe

My day job includes moderation. I think I am more empathetic to the issues that moderators deal with on a day to day basis given that they are underpaid, under-appreciated, and overworked. It's very difficult to scale a community to be

The number one issue I have with Android is that while this looks cool, because of the fragmentation of the OS delivery between vendors- I have no idea which phone or timeframe when I could see the rollout of Material 3 Expressive. More tha

I see a lot of love for Elixir/Phoenix floating around but oft posted is that Ruby is just an easier and more approachable language for many people. I think that aside from Rails, that makes it one of the easiest languages to pick up a

Knowing Oracle, they will take it to court if they can. To paraphrase Cantrill, it's a company that behaves very much like a lawnmower.
