love to have now-weekly massive cloud outages on these companies worth trillions who seem to think everything is fine so they're also getting rid of tens of thousands of employees? if all your actual "workers" are AI agents that run in the cloud and your cloud keeps keeling over, what now bitch?

i know i'm just old & grumpy but few things make me angrier than clicking a link in a technical resource that i would absolutely expect, based on its title and context, to take me to a written document, and a fucking youtube video starts blaring out at me instead.
