this made me chuckle

> If GitHub makes a mistake it can affect thousands of businesses but they’ll likely shrug and their DevOps team will just post “GitHub is down, nothing we can do” on some Slack channel.

Gonna try and read the rest of this on the lunch break as was surprisingly meaty for a clickbait title ;)

I love the style:

> That’s a terrible mistake and in the long run will be the cause of cost overruns, unmet deadlines, increased churn and overall bad vibes. And nobody wants bad vibes.

I don’t understand why people redefine words just make their point. It can be confusing at best and at worst change the me meaning of words when it becomes viral. “Smart” people means smart people. It shouldn’t be used to mean junior dev who are trying to hard to prove themselves and over engineer or choose the wrong approach. So many words have changed their original meaning because someone decides to write a viral post and redefine words to make a point

Oh what an accomplishment it would be, to be able to change the meaning of the word "smart" with a single article!

(Don't take it too seriously, like I said this is mostly a brain dump, I'm sure there's a lot of stuff that can be improved)
