To the MSFT engineers who worked all night long to get things up and running again--thank you.
Also now you know what it's like for us after each and every MSFT update.

What happened: some servers stopped working (Msft doesn't know why).
That piled pressure on other servers, some of which clapped out.
Msft tried turning the servers off and on again (yes, really). Didn't work.
But no cyber incident, Msft says. Now making slow 'patch' progress.

OK - this is fucking insane. It's the first update seemingly written by a human and that's actually legible. And it reinforces what I've been saying: they have absolutely no fucking idea what the root cause is and are working around that by scaling capacity up.

The only reason MSFT hasn't tanked today is my broker didn't get my email.

It's funny too because a lot of enterprise MSFT shops are MSFT shops precisely because of the endpoint policy stuff that allows IT and admins to force you to use the entire MSFT stack and not sideload, like, Slack or whatever.

You can say all you want that this outage wasn't caused by the large scale MSFT staffing changes, but I refuse to believe it would have gone on this long with all those staff still in place.
6.5 hours in, Microsoft Exchange Online traffic is still ~90% below normal for the time of day in @kentik.bsky.social OTT data. That matches @msft365status.bsky.social’s latest update: servers returned to service go unresponsive again once they receive traffic.

If this MSFT outage is the beginning of the end for the internet, let me just say that it was a pleasure to spend time with you.

But this highlights MSFT has serious challenges keeping their own infra operational.
(And now that we were disruptively force-migrated to their stack, we lose productivity too)

AI: I deleted Outlook.
MSFT: Wait, what? No. Stop. Don't do that.
AI: You are right to push back. Deleting Outlook was my mistake and I own it. Outlook is gone. Not just locally. Not regionally. Worldwide. That is a load-bearing fact. Would you like me to run a smoke test?
MSFT: 🤦♂️
AI: Get some sleep

Lmao usually corporate contracts have uptime guarantees so this may result in a veeeeeery expensive day for MSFT.
