Well....I’ve heard that it cost Zuck $6 billion. Kind of an expense exercise, even if it was all on paper.
It very well may have been the middle of the night when this “update” happened.
facebook is a global company, and you can bet they use as much cheap asian labor as they can hire.

Absolutely.
No. This is too easy to fix.
I am a network administrator who is primarily concerned with DNS stuff these days. It is hard to have sympathy for anyone who works for a corporation as evil as fakebook, but I can pretty much tell you that the poor bastards who run their DNS servers were probably being blamed completely for this for about 2 hours of the outage before they were able to PROVE that it wasn’t DNS and had people looking seriously elsewhere.
What's an alternative reason they could have 'missed' this - you know - other than incompetence. Is there a rational reason?
I’ve have never been involved with any situation that shutdown the entire company, but I have been involved in numerous IT situations where the impact was quite large....
The actual engineers probably knew what the issue was and how to fix it, but the managers were busy trying pin blame on someone besides themselves or tried to come up with excuses that the issue could not have been foreseen
So Facebook had paralysis by analysis....instead of just fixing the issue and then figuring out what went wrong, they had meeting after meeting tying to shift blame and not taking responsibility..this is typical of most large corporations when no one person wants to make a decision that might come back on them, they all want consensus of the final decision...
