good job vibe coding your ass to losing customers… hopefully.
What? I see two nines!

There’s two nines there: “95 issues in last 90 days”
Nein Nein Nein!
There are two more surrounding the decimal point, too! Four nines!
And if you sum four 9s you get 36. Sum those digits and you get 9 again. I think that’s how numerology works?
and a partridge in a pear tree
This is what happens to nearly every business Microsoft buys or invest in. They’re the enshittiers.
Sony is a close second, BTW 😁
Cloudflare has been pretty bad too lately. Its like the big companies are not even trying anymore. And if a real war broke out…their facilities are all centralized and VERY easy to target. Keeps me up at night sometimes since a vast majority of services at work are all on central servers.
In theory the internet self corrects. But in practice, if AWS/Cloudflare/MS/etc…goes down, a LOT of other services you dont even know about are effected. Last AWS issue took down Azure as well as people were scrambling to get servers back up and running (among other things).
it’s because all these major service providers are desperately attempting to inject AI into their operations without a goal in mind. they’re literally just throwing money at the wall and wishing something will stick.
at my current employer they are mandating AI be used by every department. didn’t say how or what the goal was, just “use it or get fired”. last year it became a KPI.
so far this year, we’re $13m behind projected goals. labor is down 15% because we stopped hiring people. productivity is down 30% because the ones that remain are getting burnt out by the increased workload.
I have hourly techs tell me they are being encouraged to work off the clock.
2026 is going to be worse than 2025, even if the bubble pops.
Who needs external malicious actors when you jam AI into your workflow?
with friends like ai, who needs enemies?
Ah the classic EEE strategy: Embrace, expand, enshittify.
That’s what AI first development gets you.
They were doing that before “AI” development was a thing
Sony is a close second, BTW
Do you have any examples? I’m not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the “acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground” strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.
Sony pictures just closed Pixelmondo after running it further into the ground
Don’t forget closing Bluepoint after multiple very successful remakes!
If they just let them remake Bloodborn, they would’ve been allowed to just print money
Really makes it want to migrate to Azure for your hosting, eh?
Azure’s documentation is the worst fucking bullshit that I’ve ever read in all my days, and just about every single page or tool (including the CLI) has an integrated slopbot that routinely recommends commands and REST endpoints that don’t exist; it’s slow as fuck, and to do even the simplest things is agonising. But to give them their dues, their recent uptime has been pretty good.
Truth be told, I’ve even come round to thinking that I prefer using Azure to Google Cloud Platform. Using any of Azure’s features is a pleasure akin to cutting yourself with a rusty nail and then falling in a sewer, but at least it has some features. GCP is like they implemented a quarter of the very basic functionality and then got fed up, decided to call it a day.
What an absolute achievement, nice work Microslop!
Technically still 9’s just in the wrong places.
