Amazon's internal agentic tool decided that existing code was inadequate and decided to replace it taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours, and was not the first time it had happened. 🤣 (lemmy.ml)

Last time I had a load balancing error with my nginx configuration, I did the following steps to fix it all:

  1. ssh into the machine
  2. alias fixit=rm -rf /var/www
  3. alias restartnginx=rm -rf /etc
  4. alias balance=rm -rf /usr
  5. sudo fixit
  6. sudo restartnginx
  7. sudo balance
  8. ls -lah

It's been up and running nonstop for over 3 years now.

Wow that is such an elegant solution! Definitely a principal level solution!

No wonder its been working 3 years.

Well done!
