Initial joy: "Half the internet is down due to AWS outage." Perfect excuse to slack off and blame the cloud gods. Crushing reality: "JIRA is still working." Somehow the one tool tracking your productivity survives the apocalypse. The universe has a sick sense of humor. Your tickets aren't going anywhere, buddy.

The internet: a precarious tower of technology held together by duct tape, prayers, and that one guy who maintains a critical npm package from his basement. At the bottom, we've got ISP backbones with a "Do Not Unplug" sign that some intern is definitely eyeing right now. Above that, the Linux Foundation quietly supporting civilization while DNS pretends it's not having an existential crisis. Unpaid open-source developers are literally the load-bearing wall of this structure, while AWS and Cloudflare collect enterprise subscription fees for the privilege of not watching it all collapse. Meanwhile, V8 and WASM are somehow making "things happen in the web" while Microsoft flies around like an Angry Bird, contributing exactly what you'd expect: chaos. If you ever wondered why your app crashed, it's because someone bumped this technological Jenga tower.

I will tell you another thing, what angers you about EM's comment is that you know the coding details are quite beside the point ... he's running things now and that's the main detail that matters.
