Probably observer's bias, but I've never seen a recovery plan work like it's supposed to.

  I’ve worked a few places where the company did regular disaster recovery testing to ensure stuff worked how it was intended to. Most of the time, it worked. Every once in a while, it failed.

    Yeah the "testing" worked....but did it really? Maybe I'm just too skeptical.

  Seeing this play out in IT makes me really worried when it comes to critical infrastructure. On paper, there are plans and redundancies upon redundancies, and everything is perfectly safe. In practice, I haven't seen them exercised, and some of these plans sound incredibly optimistic...

    Humans are pretty good at scrambling around to hack something together when shit really hits the fan.

      That scrambling often comes too late to avert serious damage or deaths though.
