    It sounds like there could be something extremely interesting in this article, but the writing style is really off-putting.

    > "on staging first and then on production at 23:40"

    Why does the reader need to know the exact minute-to-minute timeline?

      That's how postmortems have been written for ages.

        It'd be great if it were written as a postmortem, but seems like that's almost the only moment where a concrete hour is mentioned. Except for the screenshot footnote.

    > The crash and the slowness turned out to be unrelated. The crash is the short story; the slowness is the one worth writing down.

    And that's not slop, it's the real smoking load bearing foot gun.

    Completely AI written unfortunately

      "The crash is the short story; the slowness is the one worth writing down."

      The horror.

      I'd rather read a "badly written" and to the point story, than a clone of the last 20 postmortem-ish/incredible discovery stories I've seen this week.

    I tried to read this article but something about the writing style made me go cross eyed. That being said, it sounded like something I had heard before and lo and behold...

    I'm not sure the real intention of this blogpost, but my takeaway is "someone who has no idea what is going on finds a problem <LLM OF CHOICE> left for them, like a little code land mine".

    > Who found it

    > I didn't. I gave Claude Code the guest's screenshot and asked whether the problem was ours or his phone's. It answered that in twenty minutes and, while verifying the deploy, noticed the ten-second floor and kept pulling: the logs by hour, the 47 ms TCP measurement, the pg_stat_statements query, the arithmetic.

    If your brain, dear reader, is aneurysm-proof, by all means go ahead and read TFA.

    You won't learn much, though, but then again neither did its author.
