Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

(Me this morning: never heard of Crowdstrike

Me until this afternoon: assumed Crowdstrike was a video game)

I'm 3/4 of the way through Deb Chachra's excellent How Infrastructure Works, so having a day of people talking about all these systems that are usually so transparent (in that we don't see it) and opaque (in that we don't understand it) just feels like a continuation of the book!

Stories about 999 using paper and pens, and passengers unable to get on planes but empty planes have to fly to get to where they're expected to be next, make a lot more sense in the mindset this book has gotten me in to!
