A "Steve Jobs" WiFi-moment...

Well, it feels slightly better to label a situation where a live performance is interrupted by a WiFi overload crash.

Extremely annoying. Could have been avoided, but not detected without proper stress testing. I was caught off guard by the limits of the technology, even after years of experience. Damn.

Apart from that the performance went really well, the backend server worked, people were engaged in the interaction and the overall feeling was good.

The learning experience once again was the weakest link will break. This time the only module without redundancy was the router, which had served me for years without a glitch. I expected a network slowdown, but not a downright crash. Repetative crashes actually. But after the first we kept rebooting it during the breaks.

That the same thing in a different scale happened about a year ago for Apple is not much comfort. They should’ve known too.
