My take is that many people are out on vacation during the summer months and sometimes things break (or break harder than usual) when certain knowledgeable people aren't available.


Also, summer interns. A friend who worked at FB said outages there go up markedly when interns start pushing to prod.


> interns start pushing to prod

hey everybody, I spotted the problem! I'll keep an eye on my mailbox for the giant consulting fee that I assume is enroute.


You really think interns are allowed to push code to production at FB?


I worked at FB for four years, and they are in fact allowed to do so.
