A global technology outage grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off air in a massive disruption that affected companies and services around the world.
Exactly! We made sure to contact everyone who would travel to an office to inform them its at least a half day off and to check in at lunch time. Email everyone WFH the same thing, SMS too just in case their computer is down.
But I (I assume you are in the same boat) was up much earlier to tackle this! Fun day.
I’ve got easy mode: On-call woke me up. We’re five techies and equity holders with one employee, an intern. We pushed a few buttons to effect plan B and enable plan C, and sent a medium priority notification by chat.
Then, we sent the intern to the office to watch the meters. If she fucks up it’s not a problem until about Tuesday. So, we’re waiting to see if she automates the task, uses the existing routing template to ensure she’s notified of wonkiness if she leaves the office, and asks permission. She’s recreating the wheel and can then compare to our work. I thought I’d give her a couple hours before checking in.
