I've long said something like "To err is human. To fuck up a million times in a second you need a computer." I may have to upgrade that to take the mighty power of Cloud (TM) into account, though. Billions and trillions of fuck ups per second are now well within reach!

  I can't wait until quantum computing lets us add a degree of simultaneity to fucking up. Fuck up in many ways... AT ONCE!

      It will be fucked, not fucked, neither, and both... until we look. I feel bad for the poor bastard that has to look...

    It will not be certain if you have fucked up or not until you actually go to check.

    Yes, it is. I believe I added the concept of "fuckups per second", but my memory being what it is and the general creativity of the internet being what it is, I would not be surprised that it either wasn't original or I wasn't the first.

I would go with: "To err is human; to cascade, DevOps."
