Damn, imagine being the customer responsible for that, oof

What do you imagine would be the result if you brought down cloudflare with a legitimate config update (ie not specifically crafted to trigger known bugs) while not even working for them? If I were the customer "responsible" for this outage, I'd just be annoyed that their software is apparently so fragile.

I would be fine if it was my "fault", but I'm sure people in business would find a way to make me suffer.

But on a personal level, this is like ordering something at a restaurant and the cook burning the kitchen because they forgot to take out your pizza out of the oven or something.

I would be telling it to everyone over beers (but not my boss).
