For me, it's Randy Johnson's bird hit. A bit morbid, but the just incredible timing and impact is just mind boggling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_ovjbwQGk


A similar thing happened in Cricket as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrYVUirkluY, not that dramatic considering the camera angles but still one in a million shot


Being not hosted on my same tech is one thing, still being self hosted so I can externalize it for a federal implementation is another. Definitely needs to be self hosted for ALL components. :)


Yeah makes sense. I'll add your vote to the list :)


Lowes search was also down.


you know, this explains why I have lost a couple domains in the past. What a shady shitty thing to do.


speaking of bug fixes, might check the spelling of your "The Service" button. ;)


you won't need a load balancer... it will just serve infinite scale (effectively) as they take care of that automatically.


`Oh, and that small server you’re worried about? You’ll be fine.`

yeah.....only if you didn't write shitty code, have 5 layers of "oh, lets use XYZ feature and service!".

Not hating, just pointing out this cannot be universally true. You're lucky because you wrote a reasonable service. Many are not.


Ramdisk maybe?


That may be one of the biggest annoyances of "Agile Methodologies". It's this idea that we can just keep micro-incrementing anything forever. While the principle works great, you end up with this model where you never actually stop/complete/etc...

I'm not saying we should stop that, by any means, precisely the opposite actually, however what we DO need to do is be more focused on actually building sustainable products and services, that generate (gasp) REVENUE/PROFIT, and learn to "Fail Fast" when it becomes a drag.


Elon Musk != Donald Trump. When he makes statements/estimations, even if they prove significantly conservative, they are truly grounded in verifiable facts.


I certainly would not call Musk's statements conservative. He does ultimately deliver, but seldom on schedule.
