IDK, it looks like servers were up, connectivity worked well, and some builds were failing. Wouldn't call that a big issue, and the same thing was happening with Vercel due to thei…

> And people die all the time. Yes... but people can only focus on one thing at a time. We don't have 360 vision. We have blind spots! We don't even know the exact speed of our car…
