Also these things are often cascading failures to some extent in that it takes a short while before the bad config or release has been fully propagated.
Comment on xkcd #3170: Service Outage
tyler@programming.dev 1 day agoYou can go several hours without realizing a service is down but as soon as you realize you need it then your productivity drops. If you average that over everyone then the chart seems right to me.

Good point, even more so if you depend on something that depends on the original thing but have no clue about the original thing at all.

Or it takes a while for the customer to notice so you can ignore it until then

Experienced this first hand.
I often challenge myself to not use internet to solve a problem.
One time, after practically an entire day working on some personal prject; I could not push my code to github. I attempted to look up if github is down on my phone and couldn’t.
Turns out there was an outage in my area. I had spent whole day programming without internet and did not notice.
After finding out I just shut down my computer and went to bed early lmao.
