CEO Calculating Whether 500 Server Errors Is Actually a Lot

Description

A meme using the 'Confused Math Lady' template -- four progressively zoomed-in panels of a woman (from a Brazilian telenovela) looking increasingly bewildered as mathematical equations and geometric formulas are superimposed over her face. Equations visible include 'V = 1/3 pi r^2 h', 'y = ax^2 + bx + c', '(x_f, x_i) = -b +/- sqrt(...)/ 2a', and various trigonometric and algebraic formulas. The top caption reads 'when CEO hears that customers are getting 500 server errors and wonders is that a lot?' The 'imgflip.com' watermark is visible in the bottom left. The humor captures the disconnect between technical severity (HTTP 500 = internal server error = your backend is broken) and non-technical leadership trying to assess the business impact

        Cloudflare doesn't, even though their CEO is a lawyer.
