@masonwheeler Perhaps; but the person who sees the error won't be able to understand why it's happening or how to fix it. They're just fucked. Even if you have comprehensive error handling, the best think you can show them is a conciliatory message that sums up to "we don't know what you did wrong if anything, nor how to fix it, you're just fucked".
Users deserve more respect than that.
There's two possible failure modes at this level I think. Either there's "welp that didn't work but the user doesn't care" or "uh oh this is going to cause issues". Comprehensive error handling will hide the former and let the user know about the latter; I'd much rather know that my data just got shredded somehow before I try to use it in 5 minutes or 5 months. If you think users just want to never know when things go wrong, then you're .

@dcon said in While AWS burns....:
Looks like it was due to a typo. Oops.
Straight from the guilty's mouth: https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/
At 9:37AM PST, an authorized S3 team member using an established playbook executed a command which was intended to remove a small number of servers for one of the S3 subsystems that is used by the S3 billing process. Unfortunately, one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended. The servers that were inadvertently removed supported two other S3 subsystems. One of these subsystems, the index subsystem, manages the metadata and location information of all S3 objects in the region. This subsystem is necessary to serve all GET, LIST, PUT, and DELETE requests. The second subsystem, the placement subsystem, manages allocation of new storage and requires the index subsystem to be functioning properly to correctly operate. The placement subsystem is used during PUT requests to allocate storage for new objects. Removing a significant portion of the capacity caused each of these systems to require a full restart.
While this is an operation that we have relied on to maintain our systems since the launch of S3, we have not completely restarted the index subsystem or the placement subsystem in our larger regions for many years. S3 has experienced massive growth over the last several years and the process of restarting these services and running the necessary safety checks to validate the integrity of the metadata took longer than expected.
Basically it took them 5 hours to restart S3, and the joking comparisons to the GitLab issue were far more on point than expected.

I work at Valve on the top-secret HL3 project. I come in to work every day at 6am and leave at 2pm. My colleagues all know more about the Java codebase we're working on, but because I have more experience on my resumΓ© they all have to listen to me, even though I'm constantly ranting about switching to Python. Our team of 4 has no dependencies to worry about, and deliver progress reports whenever we feel like it, which is less and less frequent. I tell my boss every day how happy I am to have left a much larger, high-stress team where I didn't fit in or get along with others.

@Adynathos said in Idiots make their build process reliant on someone else's server, bitch when it goes down:
Quite the contrary, Python's standard library is huge.
Right; but since there's no central control of it, it's extremely low-quality. It's huge in that "there's 57 implementations of an XML serializer", but that's no fucking good when 53 of those don't work and of the 4 that do, 2 of them don't understand XSD and can't validate and the third one only works on objects created on Tuesdays.
Saying that there is no central control of the stdlib is patently false.
You're right, the Python stdlib's XML support sucks. But there aren't nearly as many ways to do XML as you suggest, and having both SAX and DOM support is not a Bad Thing. In any case, everyone just uses lxml so hopefully some day that will be put into the stdlib.
Having bad stuff in your stdlib is the price you pay for having a large, backwards-compatible stdlib. But that doesn't negate the fact that the Python stdlib is superb. Decimal, os, sys, math, random, sqlite3, re? Python wouldn't be nearly as popular without these sorts of batteries included.
