This is a very astute observation and it's something I'll bring into our org. Simply going through the exercise to identify the critical paths, with both Product and Engineering involvement, would be valuable. Once identified, the test coverage, monitoring, PR process, and regular reviews would follow ... but much of the value would come from the identification process because it highlights that not all code in a system has the same value/risk.

Nobody tests end to end any more. The write a patch, run some unit tests, deploy to production, and stuff like this breaks and stays broken without anyone noticing. There's a web shop I like that now literally renders as a blank screen in my firefox setup. I have to use my phone to access the site. I emailed the shop owner and he said omg he'd get after the site builder (it's a shopify site). Nothing has happened at least so far. Also there is the one where they make you identify pictures of street lamps for N iterations before believing you are human. Hey I want to give you money. Robot money folds in the middle just like human money, so shut up and take my money ;).
