    I barely proof read anything I type on my phone, and my comment history is a testament to that. I deploy code or system changes most days, but I proof read the shit out of those on top of the QC they goes through. Any company worth anything will have a process for reviewing and approving anything being deployed, or probably destroyed for that matter.

      Up until recently I worked for a company worth anything, and you would be surprised at how *many" major outages were caused by either skipping the process or gaps in the process.

      You know that adage: “the safety rules are written in blood”? The same is true for change processes, just with a cost measured in dollars instead of human injury/worse.

        Or sometimes there are just multiple failures. That’s what I learned from reading Admiral Cloudberg about air disasters: even if you have n safety measures, there’s still the chance that there’ll be n+1 failures.
