alt Hacker NewsI agree. Why is everyone so hard on everyone else? Look at the outages Anthropic and OpenAI have had. They aren't hiring stupid people but they can't seem to go a week without major platform instability. And you can't even argue that it's because of high load because all of these engineers have worked at Facebook, Meta, etc. They are seasoned veterans that should be able to build resilient systems.

All those smart people are probably using genAI to generate their codebases.
So far, that does not seem to have resulted in a robust, stable system.
Certainly no better than the results the hyperscalers got doing things by hand, and arguably worse.
