The direct trigger was, servers were on fire, for the third day in a row (approx 30-60 minutes of bad service the previous two days), I was frantically trying to figure out why, he came over my shoulder and asked "what's going on with the servers?" I told him "if I knew what was going on, it wouldn't be going on". Had a meeting later in the day where the earlier quoted statement.
Certainly some back and forth earlier there, I wouldn't argue that I didn't have a shitty attitude with him. Being charitable, he had an aggressive management style that I didn't apprechiate, and as a mostly autonomous worker, I chose not to do a fair number of the tasks he wanted me to do. Otherwise, my stuff tended to be at least as reliable as the rest of the system, except my stuff relied on external services / user input.
