They waited until you had set off in the taxi to come to the airport just so you could arrive in the midst of the carnage ::)

His lordyship was complaining at being the last to find out about the days events... So I suggested that they waited to tell him...  ::)

Oh I understand that in a dev environment, to cut time, because devs are notorious for not being able to meet timelines.

But this is a larger IT project, and whomever cut corners by not making a near-critical system's most unreliable component (its internet/cloud connection) non resilient should hopefully be out of a job by now.

Bet they were promoted, as it saved the project money.  :)

When I first heard it, I thought it was amusing.  The humour when I realised it was too close to the truth.

The Gatwick Titanic aircraft project is progressing well triplex and quadruplex fly-by-wire flight control systems are so last year. Our lightweight simplex system saves on fibre optic cable weight, flight computer voting systems and redundant actuators. Those with any concerns, there aren't any, we have a proven track record of 100% reliability with our flight display boards that show these networks never fail. ::) :-[ ;D

Such a key system should be at least a dual system with different cable path routing, so Murphy's digger laying new drainage pipes can only take out one set of them at a time. ::) ::) ::)

Like at a certain telecoms provider where (so the legend has it) they had all sorts of redundant links but a different Murphy decided it would be easier to bury them in the same duct. ::)

We had similar at one of our datacentres about 20yrs ago - diversely fed by 3 different fibres, the datacentre manager proudly told me...   ...then I pissed on his bonfire by showing him that 2 went up one road together (admittedly in different ducts) to one exchange (another single point of failure), although the other was a completely separate route.

They soon rerouted one of them :D
