> We should have known better. We should have done our due diligence when this improvement was made to the framework two years ago. I accept full responsibility for failing to heed that warning, and by extension for causing the multi-hour outage today. I’m really, really sorry
I don't know why, but seeing "I’m really, really sorry" in a Post-mortem doesn't feel right.

I think he is really stuck, and at least he took responsibility for what happened. That seems rare these days, and even if his wording doesn't feel right, his words and the detailed explanation of their actions deserve a lot of respect.
- Diederich 8y agoTo me, it projects a deep sense of ownership and responsibility, which is right on.
- ifightcrime 8y agoIt’s not a postmortem. Second paragraph mentions one will be following soon.

Maybe your comment just reads wrong (context is tough in text format) but I wish you would reconsider this idea. Here is a business owner accepting full responsibility and doing his best to provide some insight into what went wrong and why it took so long to get back online. It reads to me like someone who cares deeply about his customers and wants to project the sense that they are his number one concern. Its honestly refreshing and I wish it was a more common thing. I'm not a BC customer but I'll be giving them a try next time I am in the market. They clearly care.
