Given today is Diwali, perhaps the reason everything went down is because the best and brightest from India were all on vacation and weren't there to babysit/roll back the deployment that broke everything?

ouch, that’s what a Diwali outage looks like..

We’ve reached a point where I can no longer distinguish between people without experience and people repeating the talking points they’re told to repeat. That’s a major loss.

However, talent is a very small part of shipping a project. How that talent is resourced is far more important.

It depends on how the resources are assigned, what projects they’re asked to focus on, and which strategic tech debt initiatives aren’t approved.
