Post-mortems: A collection of postmortems
- yarapavan 8y agoOriginal blog post -> http://danluu.com/postmortem-lessons/ http://danluu.com/postmortem-lessons/ Previous HN discussion -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10090806 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10090806 I love reading postmortems. They're educational, but unlike most educational docs, they tell an entertaining story. I've spent a decent chunk of time reading postmortems at both Google and Microsoft. I haven't done any kind of formal analysis on the most common causes of bad failures (yet), but there are a handful of postmortem patterns that I keep seeing over and over again.
