Tell HN: Airbnb just stole me 5 minutes of my time adding dices

So I wanted to book some places for my next holidays on Airbnb and I came on the most annoying CAPTCHA I ever saw<p><a href="https://i.postimg.cc/sXppmyxm/airbnbdes.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.postimg.cc/sXppmyxm/airbnbdes.png</a><p>Now you have to make sum of dices only to acces the website. And 5 times in a row.<p>And be sure to make no mistake ! I unfortunatly did on the fifth/last one (was getting really p*ssed), and had to start over !<p>So this morning I had to make around 50 dices sum just to acces this website.<p>I don't kow who came with this idea, but I find this really bad.

Ask HN: Do you find working on large distributed systems exhausting?

Ive been working on large distributed system for the last 4-5 years with teams owning few services or have different responsibilities to keep the system up and running. We run into very interesting problems due to scale (billions of requests per month for our main public apis) and the large amount of data we deal with.<p>I think it has progressed my career and expanded my skills but I feel it's pretty damn exhausting to manage all this even when following a lot of the best-practices and working with other highly skilled engineers.<p>I've been wondering recently if others feel this kind of burnout (for lack of better word). Is the expectation is that your average engineer should now be able to handle all this?
