oh sure, when they fuck up DNS it's a "race condition".
when I fuck up DNS it's a "fireable offense".
It's funny aws report didn't mention 40% sysops were replaced by AI. https://blog.stackademic.com/aws-just-fired-40-of-its-devops-team-then-let-ai-take-their-jobs-d9db9d298bfa
Wasnt that source from a year ago?
No
You are right, was from july and there was no other confirmed layouts from credible sources since.
