“youtube.com” is down — proving it with UI testing!

By Eugene Cheah | October 17, 2018

Was goofing off at work watching youtube, until it started failing on me.

Thought it was wifi until I checked using a public UI test script on it.

Feel free to run the test multiple times here: https://snippet.uilicious.com/test/public/RuGwPjbwFX1QU5EVhvNHZu — hopefully this does not make me go down next 😂

So #hugops, cheer on the SRE engineers who are rushing to fix it. Keeping things working 24/7 is hard work after all.

And definitely, definitely do not call the police.

Its only youtube, not the end of the world (yet)

Update: Oct 17–7:46 PST time
