i'm gonna go with the less popular view here that overly detailed post mortems do little in the grand scheme of things other than satisfy tech p0rn for a tiny, highly technical audience. does wonders for hiring indeed. sure, transparency is better than "something went wrong, we take this very seriously, sorry."
