"The Cloudflare outage was a good thing [...] they're a warning. They can force redundancy and resilience into systems."

You are very intelligent!

    That's fair. However I don't think I would have wrote that if those thoughts were shared on a blogging platform.

    Most blogging platforms do not qualify as critical infrastructure. GitHub with all its CI/CD and supply chain attacks does.

    There is a certain particular irony of this being written on critical (centralized) infrastructure without any apparent need.

    Maybe it was intended, maybe not, in any case I found it funny.

      I agree. I think the whole point is someone like TFA author has a pretty broad choice of places they can choose to publish this and choosing GitHub is somewhat ironic.

      Reminds me of the guy who posted an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg like "we are not for sale" on LinkedIn, a place that literally sells access to its users as their main product.

I published it as a Gist because my own blog deployment pipeline was in a non-functioning state.

    FWIW, even if I agree(d) there's some irony in choosing GitHub, I don't think it invalidates your points.

    I do agree with the gist of your... gist. :)
