The problem is that responsibility and risk in busienss gets passed down to those that do the actual work. You're not really concerned about your blog going from 2 readers to 1M/day, you're concerned that iff your blog volume jumps that much, your job and perhaps livelihood may be on the line because the business doesn't understand why you didn't prepare for this and doesn't understand why you now suddenly need a bunch of more resources to accommodate this change in demand. Most all these long drawn out what-if discussions almost always dance around the real topic everyone's discussing: who is taking the risk and whose neck is on the line should things go south. If businesses were more willing to take reasonably accessible risks back from their employees doing the work, we'd have a lot less of these discussions. Instead they just go on and on. Who has to do what or will get fired and have to deal with explaining to future employers why they were fired. Instead, we end up passing as much risk as possible to customers and innovation suffers.
