    Oh man. One of my old companies, the Devs would always blame the network. Even after we spent a year upgrading and removing all SPOFs. They’d blame the network……

    “Your application is somehow producing 2 billion packets per second and your SQL queries are returning 5GB of data”…. “See! The network is too slow and it has problems”

      Dev: My app’s getting a 400 hitting the server. Your firewall changes broke it.

      Me: You’re getting to the server, it’s giving you back a malformed request error. Most likely it’s a problem in your client.

      Dev: it worked fine until you made that change in QA.

      Me: Your server is in production.

      After that, I just get too busy to look at it for a while… They figure it out eventually.
