@ck Sounds like “fun”
@jay actually, once we realized there's nothing we can do, it was. Very interesting to see how the world caught up with it and a few hours later it became THE story. 😅
@jay what's cool about the post mortem of Cloudflare themselves is their honesty. They f-ed up and they owned it. You rarely see that from other companies.
@ck Yeah it was a good one for a publicly published post mortem!
