#13On a side note - many of these are good samples of technical writing. They introduce the audience to the environment where failure occurred, but in a way that doesn't take the focus away from the issue itself.

#15At least one of these is just terrible. The “Facebook” one is written by some firm trying to hawk their monitoring stuff. It implies you can understand what happened inside from glorified traceroutes.
What actually happened that night is far more complicated, and has nothing to do with people intentionally disconnecting the site from the internet.

What if you want to see all posts from “github.com” overall?
You can still modify the HN url to see that by removing the path.
If you do partial paths on other domains it doesn’t seem to work.

#18Can we also get some behind-NDA/service desk post mortems? IBM, Oracle Cloud, MuleSoft, Salesforce, etc. Having to submit a fucking service request to know why your business stopped running is a PITA.
