Taylor Swift crashed Ticketmaster https://t.co/LZB0iYFqd4

Ticketmaster just crumpled 10 minutes before West Coast presale starts. Multiple different 503 and 504 errors. #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour

a thing to keep in mind about your company's legacy code is that it's the reason you have that job in the first place

@TimbersFC Why do I get the feeling that the STH roster is an excel spreadsheet on a server under someone’s desk

[Adam Lynch @adamlynch]

@HKabs9 @TimbersFC Cool I’ll try that thanks!

[Adam Lynch @adamlynch]

@TimbersFC Aaaaand my ticket rep is not accepting calls at this time

[Adam Lynch @adamlynch]

@TimbersFC I need to transfer tickets to other family members traveling separately to the match. What should I do?

[Tom Pacyk @tompacyk]

@TimbersFC I’m very confused how a local Internet outage prevents people from transferring tickets via a cloud service.

Today in 1979, you entertained yourself for 10 minutes by just saying random shit into this fucker for the voice sound effects.

I’ve come to realize I never really liked the metaphor. It’s just not realistic. I prefer thinking of development teams knowing when (and how!) to step on the gas and when (and why!) to step on the brake.

One very strange thing that happened to me at Skype, where we went all-in on Scrum and 2-week sprints:

Sprint burnout.

I got tired of the retro & planning every 2 weeks. That as soon as we finished a sprint, we'd start a new one.

Got this feeling about 8 months into sprints.

Gio the Super Sub.

Watch as Seba subs in his coach in a reversal of roles during #PTFCForPeace. While his assist may not have counted, Gio's still got a little magic left in those boots. #RCTID

Hi @Ticketmaster is the @oliviarodrigo presale going to be rescheduled like the Adele one was?

[Adam Lynch @adamlynch]

What is happening with the @Ticketmaster verified fan presale for @oliviarodrigo tickets? Is this totally broken? Gigantic queue with very little progress :(

Checking in on how code-is-the-only-law, be-your-own-bank, lets-be-ungovernable world of DeFi is doing.

Oh, Compound had a $70 million bug this week? I suppose we'll go down the crypto governance flowchart to:

@ChadCasady @uoregon I am currently feeling your pain - and ooof man it hurts

[Adam Lynch @adamlynch]

Seriously @uoregon - today’s move-in was a gigantic #clusterduck. Admit it. Learn from it. And please don’t subject another Freshman class to this disaster.
