More likely their hamfisted return to work layoff scheme has caused them to bleed experienced staff. The only people left are less experienced and give less of a shit. It took them over an hour to realize the database of their DNS system was the issue.
I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.
https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/
I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.
This is a really good article. Thanks for posting it.
Ah yes trustworthy source 80.lv
Look into this source for like 2 seconds, it is a marketing research company, not journalists, with extremely suspicious and likely generated team. https://80.lv/contact-us#audience https://my.linkedin.com/in/arti-sergeev the “Head” of 80 level doesn’t even seem like a real person, definitely not a real picture.
So you’re saying the 80.lv “team” are AI generated? Wouldn’t that be ironic…AI making shit up about AI.
Uhh, why do you say that’s not a real pic?
Literally everything about that site is generated. It is possible it is the real picture of a Russian guy who went to online school that lives in Malaysia but considering that all the articles, all the stock photos look generated, I’m going to assume the faces are too.
Ok so you’re bullshitting based on assumptions. Maybe you’re right maybe you’re wrong. Got it.
I know for a fact this is a fake article with no proof lol that is enough for me. Sorry you lack critical thinking skills and media literacy
You know for a fact something that you cannot prove outside of your own personal intuition. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Wow ai has gotten really good https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2499164710468188&set=pb.100011240502375.-2207520000&type=3
He even has the right number of fingers and various pictures in different states of shaving, dress, environments. If that guy is ai, I’d hire him.
I really want this to be true, because not only I believe that would be the immediate outcome, but also because it would be hilarious.
But a somewhat credible source that’s not wrapped in “allegedly” and old stories would really help drive the point home.
This report is a blog linking to a blog.
DevOps cannot be automated away. So stupid.
DevOps is one of the most automated parts of software development and deployment actually.
Article seems like complete bullshit anyway.
DevOps is not executing the automation, but designing it. DevOps is not manually spinning up pods but writing the automation that does so.
Why do you think AI can’t easily be the supervisor for pipelines and create new ones? It’s basically just creating steps that are well known from building a branch to deploying it.
Try it out and you’ll see. Amazon seems to be doing great with it.
The AWS outage had nothing to do with AI lol.
Sure, clanker.
Sure, luddite.
Tried to figure out yesterday why a user couldn’t ssh into a server, tried LLMs to figure it out, completely useless. Had to go into some log file somewhere to find out the one who set up the server made a specific group for ssh and if a user wasn’t in that group they couldn’t connect. The LLMs (ChatGPT and Gemini) gave me bullshit about changing flags in the sshd config…
Cool story. LLMs can’t see error messages in logs if you don’t give them access to it. Had you given the AI agent access to those files? Or were you just using a standalone LLM with no access to the system?
Easy fix: give an LLM root access to all production critical servers and allow everyone in the company to chat with it.
First reaction: fear.
Second: I chuckled. Because I thought of some VP-level enforcing this joke as SOP.
And then a little more fear, as a treat.
Haha if that happens it is time to get out fast
