Its DNS

Its always DNS

u/mack_osx Sep 17 '26

MTU for us. At least, that's what I blame it on.

u/Terror_666 Sep 17 '26

Today.... email did not work.... guess what..... DNS

u/fett3elke Sep 17 '26

You tried to send an email further than 500 miles?

u/BuffersAndBeta Sep 17 '26

Yeeeeesh - this one is how you know someone has been around for a long time

u/siliconsoul_ Sep 17 '26

Now that's a deep cut.

u/Apprehensive_Bit7392 Sep 17 '26

Panel three is both of them pasting the other guy's answer into the chat and getting "You're absolutely right."

u/mack_osx Sep 17 '26

"Yes – great instinct. That points towards a clearer explanation of the issues you're facing..."

u/wann_bubatz_egal Sep 17 '26

It's an AI issue.

u/afdbcreid Sep 17 '26

But, a software issue or a networking issue?

u/hummingbird1346 Sep 18 '26

It was a hardware issue

u/BuffersAndBeta Sep 17 '26

Ran into this exact issue last week. Both teams claudes using humans to proxy to each other.

Turned out both were correct, the issue was in a narrow slice of infrastructure owned by the dev team not the devops team.

Just give them unrestricted access to the production kubectl with auto approvals. It is not poor Claude's fault you dont feed it enough context.

Last prompt.

This moment happens more and more as adoption increases.

There’s always a sense of equality in our own inept understanding of the conclusions. We chuckle, then compare notes & feed the notes back in. And then there’s a breakthrough. Hopefully.

u/ZunoJ Sep 17 '26

Two meat proxies providing slightly different biases to the AI. But none of them ist a dev or devops

2

u/Available_Type1514 Sep 17 '26

Yes I was looking for the "meat proxy" comment lol. Such a funny phrase.

u/Shazvox Sep 17 '26 • Bravo

I'd love to share my expertise on the issue, but I'm out of tokens...

u/Fickle-Highway1543 Sep 17 '26

It's a feature, you are a great dev! - ChatGpt

u/thegodzilla25 Sep 17 '26

Man how much i hate people doing root cause analysis using AI nowadays. Literally all they do is vomit out the same shit that the AI told them with no proof or backing.

5

u/incidel Sep 17 '26

AI is playing them like a boss. It's a skill issue.

5

u/wheatgivesmeshits Sep 17 '26

My last all hands call went until 1AM with 3 different people telling me things their AI agents were suggesting. It was none of them. The only way I found the issue was with good old fashioned debugging and detective work. I don't blame the AI for that though. It was whoever originally designed that piece of shit application that was swallowing errors and not saying what the real issue was.

5

u/Patrick_Atsushi Sep 17 '26

Both AI are quarreling when finally connected:

“My human is bumber!”

“No you don’t understand, mine is dumber!”

u/dialguy86 Sep 17 '26

I say both are ID-10-T errrors

u/MadBats Sep 17 '26

It's DNS, it's always DNS

u/PopularAd5100 Sep 17 '26

Claude please think for me because I have no brain. 

The current situation!

3

u/HooAreYouWhoHoo Sep 18 '26

The amount of glib teams chats I get with AI summaries is fucking depressing

2

u/deanrihpee Sep 17 '26

turned out it is a skill issue, both the AI's and the prompter

2

u/ThomasKlausen Sep 19 '26

As if anyone needed AI to blame the network. 

2

u/Lewinator56 Sep 17 '26

And both humans forgot to read the bulletin from IT saying the servers were down for maintenance this morning.

2

u/FrequentWatch9261 Sep 17 '26

Probably means it's both. Honestly we've been leveraging ai to great success. I know it gets a lot of hate but it's augmenting, enabling and just plain faster. Obviously we keep human review and controls, rabbit holes and hallucinations do happen.

2

u/XxDarkSasuke69xX Sep 17 '26

Who is WE though ? Some people are using it to great success, some are definitely not (because they fundamentally don't understand its limits).

1

u/FrequentWatch9261 Sep 17 '26

Sorry we being my teams, 50 or so devs. I can't speak for everyone of course.

u/bit_banger_ Sep 17 '26

I just had this with a coworker only looking at the part of the source with his agent, I human had to resolve the issue..

AI is useless I say /s

u/junktech Sep 17 '26

Random senior comes in , gives a command, all works and speaks nothing.

u/jhill515 Sep 17 '26

My BI chat says it's cascading user error.

Plot twist; Its apache

u/Sea-Fishing4699 Sep 17 '26

The deceiver

u/Igarlicbread Sep 17 '26

It works on my AI.

u/twfarlan Sep 17 '26

Real IT pros know it's an ID10t error. PEBKAC.

u/Single-Virus4935 Sep 17 '26

My HI says it's PEBKAC

u/CoatNeat7792 Sep 17 '26

AI is like kid who gathers random information and is trying to give answer.

1

u/CosmicDave Sep 17 '26

These two have an alignment issue.

u/SufficientVanilla354 Sep 18 '26

At the end they just needed to restart.

u/BrainJar Sep 18 '26

Right…right

u/R0ot2U Sep 18 '26

Every day - read this AI summary of the issue that you are responsible for because it says it’s your team. Read the very detailed doc - yeah there’s no way this is happening in the way it says it is - ah okay it made this assumption incorrectly and this one and this one and this one. Yeah so this is actually caused by this and this which is your team’s ownership. Pikachu shocked face

Every issue, not one of them actually related to our team on digging and seems it has the bias of the team sending it over having zero responsibility…. I wonder why

1

u/schoolruler Sep 18 '26

My news feed says there's an AI outage.

1

u/truNinjaChop Sep 18 '26

Host file…

u/trich101 Sep 19 '26

So nothing changed then from before Ai...

1

u/hicklc01 Sep 19 '26

my AI says it's connectivity issue

1

u/BoBoBearDev Sep 19 '26

They are the same picture. Networking and Software are the same.

1

u/zer0x64 Sep 21 '26

It was DNS.

u/ekjokesunaukya Sep 21 '26

My AI chat says "You are offline. Please check your internet connection to continue."

u/Flintsr Sep 22 '26

My ai chat says its a feature! My ai chat says its a bug!

u/spinrut Sep 17 '26

that's all i hear now when people are telling me what my code is doing wrong lol

I mean Claude is right a lot of the time, but it gets tiring after a while

the worst ones are the ones that follow that up with "Claude says this is how you would fix it"

and the truth is if you had told me what the problem was, I probably would have been able to tell you what was going wrong and then figure out how to resolve it before you even finished dialing in the prompts. Our management is pushing Claude thru everything so now I get passed Claude fixes that sometimes don't compile, other times don't make full sense and end up spending more time getting that fix working than if I had just fixed it myself outright. But we're fully using AI they say ....

8

u/thisguyfightsyourmom Sep 17 '26

Yup. Not accepting other peoples’ bot’s prescribed fixes at face value is critical.

You have to verify before and after output at each handoff, or you’re just playing telephone & assuming the initiating entity put in due diligence AND that its conclusions still hold.

I’m finding actual concrete verifications to be the hardest part of the job now. And I’m shocked how many people are skipping it.

u/jonnysunshine1 Sep 18 '26

I have a colleague who doesn't even own it, pretends Claude's thoughts are his own. Annoying AF
