    Speaking as someone who’s written a lot of post-mortems, they’re a really useful exercise, and demanding clients are the only reason they actually happen. If you don’t get any lessons out of your post-mortem process, you’re missing a huge opportunity to improve your services.

On our side, we first saw the Cloudflare outage. Then, Docker Hub started failing, followed by GitHub API errors. It's amazing how much of the internet runs / depends on Cloudflare these days. Thank you for keeping the lights on. :)

    Critical infrastructure is critical so it belongs in the hands of a few. You can make it reliant on nobody so I have to trust nobody, or you can put it in the hands of a trusted few who I can research and understand. Michelle, Matthew and John GC have done such a good job of building trust we've rewarded them to the tune of billions of dollars. I understand your perspective, I just wanted to share there are other people on the other-side who don't find it shocking and appreciate how it is.

      "Critical infrastructure is critical so it belongs in the hands of a few." Holy shit no. This is the sort of thing that gets kooky politicians randomly turning off the flouride in a city's water supply: https://alaskapublic.org/news/2021-12-15/anchorage-mayor-turned-off-fluoride-in-city-water-for-about-5-hours https://alaskapublic.org/news/2021-12-15/anchorage-mayor-tur... Things aren't as simple as you seem to think they are.

        I take your point and it's well presented. We could easily get into neo-liberalism here but It's too early on a Thursday morning for that so I'll just accept it's more nuanced and I hope you'll look for the nuance on my side also. :)
