Time allocated for this used to be a given. It's interesting how quickly we have moved to SaaS.
Though if your internal IT team had a VCS outage, it wouldn't be Hacker News news. Really it is just the scope of the outages (and commiseration) that has changed.

- carlivar 9y agoYeah, merely an observation, not a criticism of SaaS. However I do wonder sometimes, even with the resources and domain knowledge, if the super crazy scale these SaaS companies have to deal with tips the scales to be about the same reliability as a solid internal ops or IT team (who only have to worry about YOUR scale).
