When I woke up this morning I thought about writing about the ongoing drama surrounding Nvidia and its morally and ethically corrupt leader. But, then I quickly saw the news about Microsoft Outlook going down, and with it Teams and Copilot.
I soon saw many employees celebrating what effectively became a "snow day for adults" as they literally couldn't do their jobs. Then I started seeing various businesses, ranging from small to medium, saying that their normal support services are unsurprisingly not working and instead to contact them via social media. Except, it's not just businesses that are impacted by Microsoft's incompetence. Even if this is some legitimate accident (and not a more likely instance of someone vibecoding their way via Copilot), when a company like Microsoft fires tens of thousands of employees, including many engineers, then these problems are not only more likely, but also more difficult to quickly fix. The fact that this has actually been an issue across two separate days is pathetic for a company like Microsoft.
