Where am I getting what? My argument is that weak leadership causes the problems we see. You sound personally affronted because the I am pointing out a view of the industry that is not rosy glasses where we are all geniuses and Silicon Valley inspired culture solves all the hard problems with slam dunks. These problems are preventable and the tech industry is actually a wasteland of poor understanding and repeating organizational and managerial failure. These are ignored because everyone else is as almost as bad, and most people can't judge the good from the bad. This isn't cutting edge research, you carbon copy a competent company's design and they will probably explain it publicly if you ask nicely. There are forums like IETF and NANOG where you can exchange these practices, and professionals do that to build the profession. Swap out BSD with anything you please, just don't single source when you've hit breakout success and revenue loss from failure is material. I'm not a zealot, I even think WinNT is a pretty nice kernel and could fit into this picture with the new Microsoft. The point is you aren't holding up whole digit numbers of worldwide GDP on one kernel with a very poor security track record. Every modern widely used kernel applies to this statement. This is insane, I hope you can take that away from this thread at least. The cost of designing against common mode failure is inconsequential when properly budgeted against cost of actual failure. Any company in the Fortune 500, non-tech included, could afford to create a DDOS-proof DNS and web platform. Luckily they shouldn't have to if the service providers acted more like Verisign. And it scales down too, it would cost at most $100s of dollars a year for a single person company to multisource cloud providers, but likely it will be a wash since IAAS is most commonly usage billing.
