You want uptime?
I was there when Babel went down. Don't ask.

Anyone else seeing protocol forking?

Confirmed. Language packs multiplying.

Filing this under “not my miracle.”

Impact: All global communication systems reverted to emoji-only mode for 40 days.


Root Cause

Human language stack was hardcoded, no feature flags.
God pushed Confusion.v3 straight to prod—no rollback, no changelog, no QA signoff.


Uriel’s Note

“Next time, I’m setting up a CI pipeline for miracles. Or at least a linter.”
