To be fair to Luke, in regards to the "six nines" comment in the video that a lot of people think is part of a sex joke (and how the video is framing it), in the proper context he was talking about IT infrastructure and this comment actually refers to a target for high availability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability

99.9999% availability (ie. uptime) = "six nines"

He was basically saying that they're setting a target for higher availability of their infrastructure, because it's been unstable at times, causing staff frustration and delaying certain workflows.

I can't blame a lot of average people who don't work in any sort of IT field for confusing it with the "69" sex position (wondering what the heck "six nines" means), but that's not at all what he was making reference to.

I'm not at all defending anything else in relation to this debacle besides this unfair portrayal of this particular snippet.

EDIT: Just wanted to add, I think it's pretty sad that pistol fingers and a wink these days apparently must mean you're making a sex joke (or are trying to offend people in some other way). As a kid I remember this gesture being used to "act cool". We did it all the time back then, and it was all in fun. Luke's from my generation, so maybe he thought the same, or maybe we didn't get the memo that this gesture is off-limits now.

Yeah the wink and the finger guns and the coy voice really scream “server uptime” to me

Go touch grass. It was an double entendre and LMG is fucking gross.

6 nines is a fucking meme. It's literally impossible, but everyone claims it. That's the joke.

It's pretty fucking funny too.
