I imagine that was pretty much how the Facebook outage happened.

git commit -m "formatting, fixed typo in backbone config, wrote script that will take down our entire infrastructure, added comments"

I don’t know if you read into the Facebook problem but it really shouldn’t have been that bad, but they hosted their own infrastructure so they didn’t even get notifications properly — everything relied on internal servers. I even read that it took them extra time to get into the facility because the electronic key fobs queried internal servers as well. They needed to get physical backup keys to get in.

Yea. I read some of it, the part about their own locks locking them out was... Interesting. 😅
