Troubleshooting checklist:
DNS
Fuck if I know
- It’s always DNS
  
  A haiku about DNS
  It’s not DNS There’s no way it’s DNS It was DNS
- Or as I’ve discovered recently while troubleshooting local infrastructure, the ARP table. Essentially the DNS of IP addressing
- Restarting a server or booting a new instance has been my solution for years.

Honestly I get more angry when it's my own site because then I have to fix it :P
- On the contrary I get less angry when it's my own site because I usually have at least some idea of what could have gone wrong

People: "Please get this thing to work, my work/life depends on it!"
Me: "There are people whose work/life depend on my jank code/website?"
- Their life depends on it until it’s lunchtime. Then it doesn’t matter anymore. But woe to you if it’s not fixed when they’re back!

“Don’t these guys have a test suite⁈”
- It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me.
- Is that a fancy word for prod?

Frontend developer: Listen I make pretty websites. This is a backend problem
- Backend developer: the buttons disappear only on smaller screens - looks like a frontend problem.

If you work somewhere that actually makes money it's very much like the first.

Can confirm. Sauce: Posting from my instance, it was down yesterday.

So I wanna a report on performance.
Sir this is one endpoint with no batch capabilities of which I have no access to change. There is no “performance”
