@zachleat one nine of availability is all we should hope for.
Wait wait, we can go even lower.
@cthos you receive: one eight

@zachleat 16/90 days with some outage, most of them severe. 99.38% uptime.
@zachleat hey here's one you've probably never heard:
"How do you know an 'AI' company is lying?"
"They're publishing data."
Or something, I'm still workshopping this.
@rockerest are you saying it’s worse than this report shows 😅
@zachleat hey hey hey my lawyer has advised me not to say ANYTHING. But if someone were saying something, allegedly, someone might be saying that "uptime" almost certainly has some bonkers definition that no real person would find satisfying.
@rockerest let’s ask claude—wait
just one more agent bro i swear one more agent and we’ll ship so much bro
we’re disrupting uptime expectations
Better than GitHub!
Why is it all gray?
(Not for me, but someone)
I believe this is feedback for upstream vendor www.atlassian.com/software/sta...
Oh, what are the chances the people maintaining that page were part of the 1600 who just got RIF'd?
😬😬😬😬
I… don’t think this is true 😅 unless you mean copilot specifically 🫣
actions are not the most reliable either
@zachleat I’ve enjoyed checking on this myself.

@matthiasott uptime only exists if you have long term memory
@zachleat While it's degraded it's not degrading your software
Colors are good. People like colors!
@zachleat so at which point do we stop grading these services on a curve and treat them like any other computer software provider? (aka curse, smash things, and yeet them into the sun for being so unreliable…like we would any other software of such flakiness 😅)
@jaredwhite “the first nine of uptime is free…”
oh noo the githubifucation
@zachleat Thought that was GitHub until I looked closer.
More green than my GitHub commit graph!
I realize this might be a joke, but there's a difference between software and platform. Companies that need four nines SLA tend to use their own model instance in Bedrock.
I mean, 99% is still an A — right?
@zachleat i initially thought this was github, which looks like this
@exchgr so much green by comparison!
@zachleat when the software is in prison and you gotta pay to talk to it
@zachleat let me vibe code a fix..
Oww and it's down. 😅😂
For how many requests they handle and the resources needed to serve those requests, I’m inclined to say it is good.
Looks green-ish to me.
99.38% uptime. Do I get to pick which 54 hours a year the site is down?
now do github
