that's the difference between heroes and ordinary employees who bitch about having to go into the office twice a month.
same as the stories you hear of guys taking snow-cats up a mountain in a blizzard to restore phone circuits or radio transmitters gone offline.
Man, don’t be a “hero” trying to restore a lower ping to someone trying to buy a kindle in Jeddah.
What about local hospitals which may have service from that data center? There are heroes needed everywhere, all the time.
Their lack of multiple AZ’s isn’t the guy making 30k a year’s problem.
In that case, the hero was the person who avoided relying on a single AZ when they deployed to cloud.
I'm sure bezos will be really happy someone is being a hero for him in a war zone while he sails his newest yacht to wherever the new version of the island is.
on second thought there is a difference between restoring critical infrastructure in times of crisis vs restoring bot infrastructure for indian spamming operations. choose wisely
