What they're saying is that if someone else is oncall, you tend not to deal with the quality issues of the system (it's a negative externality). If the system you own doesn't require any on-call at all, then great. But for th

I tend to look at actions, and the US (in particular the current administration) bears a large part of the blame. The Iranian government is despicable, but so is the one in Saudi Arabia, yet the US has no problem supporting them. The North

ArchWiki is a good counterexample (so is Wikipedia I guess), but the W3C and ECMA specs are not: they document what ought to happen and are geared towards implementation, not what actually happens in practice or how to build a mental model
