When you stop using a search engine and use AI-generated responses for everything, I guess having your LLM backends go down could qualify as having a disruptive functional impact.
A disruption to disfunctional search engines does not sound bad.

This is my workday now
Nowadays they will tell you to work on something else in the meantime.

Character.ai being mentioned in the same line is a sign of the times.
What is character.ai? Have I been living under a stone? When I visit the page I have to log in just to learn what it is?

It's LLMs for ERP
... What's ERP? Or don't I want to know?

The problem was actually caused by Google
Google Cloud went down hard on Thursday, and took Cloudflare and some of its customers with it. -
I actually enjoy when this happens. All this centralized shit will not end well.

Good, we have a reason to touch grass now

tell me more
Like the bad kind

Your code can compile while you're in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a "what went wrong" about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they'll review this retro's action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items

This is why I call scrum masters scrumlords.
Thankfully my boss is hands off so I took a walk and then worked on an internal tooling side project that really only I will appreciate.

*Laughs in self-hosting services.
Same. Feeling pretty good about using Anubis instead of Cloudflare for our dinky systems.

Oh no, not Cloudflare!
Oh right I use NextDNS, so anyway...
Oh, its also Google, Twitch, Discord and Etsy... and some AI girlfriend generator... and Spotify?
... People still use those? Aren't they worried about all the security and privacy concerns, the exploitative business models?
No?
Huh. Well, dang, sucks for those users I guess.
Ahem, annnyyyywaaaayyyy...
...
Ok, serious mode / tinfoil hat:
... Did maybe someone in the Trump admin just try to do a US internet blackout, given all the insane shit happening, and pulled a few wrong cords out?
...
Either way... and I cannot believe I am citing Ready Player One as a positive example of anything, but such is the nature of our collective degeneracy:
Tuesdays and Thursdays are now no internet days.
Go outside, touch grass, realize you're addicted to social media like a drug, and begin detoxing.
...
EDIT: Holy shit, Israel just struck Iran at multiple locations, presumably all or many related to their nuclear program... including Tehran.

I remember the day I went why are we all selfhosting and still relying on a site like Cloudflare?.
I'm glad I agreed with me on it.

Cloudflare once again comes under pressure for enabling abusive sites
Cloudflare masks the origin of roughly 10% of abusive domains, watchdog says.

Google Cloud status page:
Holy shit, goddamn near everything is down, nearly everywhere.
Fucking Tracer Tong ending from Deus Ex, hope somebody has a save file they can reload from soon, otherwise... yeah...

My front-line guess is "Erotic Role Play" but I am not familiar with character.ai
