Needs more drama, pancake makeup, and Monster High dolls.

Depends on the cloud provider. AWS, as an example, have up to three “availability zones” within a single data center. If the customer needs HA, they are encouraged to run their applications in separate availability zones. It means different subnets within the VPC, redundant LBs spread across those zones, and more.

There is also probably DNS-based global load balancing across different data centers.

That’s just the hosting infrastructure. I’m sure Chujo works on the office LAN as well. He might wear the infosec hat also, which means he’s up to his eyeballs in firewall policy.

I don’t envy my brethren in software development orgs. Been there, done that, got that t-shirt long ago.

This is a software development business, which is a positively bananas trade no matter what’s getting written. And the smaller the business, the more hats network guys wear. We work with everything from the server app down to the coffee machine fueling the devs. And 100% uptime isn’t the most crazy demand I’ve heard. I’m sure Chujo is busier than a one-armed paper hanger with jock itch.

At least he’s got money to throw at his hosting company. Scaling up would have been much slower in the old days.

I read that title in the original early 1980’s Times New Roman ad font.

I want this to avenge every pangolin murdered for its scales.

Your roommate Roy is about to get really pissed at you.

“Roy! Where are you buddy?”

“FOR THE LAST TIME I’M RIGHT FSCKING HERE”

Could be a good show. TIL there’s a non-zero number of pro female boxers in Japan.

For most games, the real consequence of failure in a game is being forced to repeat what just happened. And getting caught in a Groundhog Day-esque situation that repeats once every few minutes suuuuucks.

It’s even worse when a failure causes your character to lose stuff. That’s even more time wasted, in that the time and effort taken to get the thing is gone.

Paint the rainbow on my proud carebear chest if you must. I just want a place to escape to for a little while, a place that doesn’t frustrate the shit out of me.

Awesome. Thank you much.

Holy fuck, these are amazing. But the third one is the absolute best. Do you mind sharing your prompt?

Badass.

Words fail

Buildings tumble

The ground opens wiiiide

Light beams

Down from heaven

She stands before my eyes

Can’t believe you got middle fingers. Bing sidelined my attitude every time.
