> Stop making reactive decisions. If something bad happened on a total, extremely unlikely lark, don't act like it's going to happen again next week

I hate this, like when there's an outage and the outcome is 100 half baked ideas that must be implemented, that just make things worse to work with




Yeah. And all the time spent on those 100 half baked ideas take away from time that could be spent working on the most likely cause of the next outage. (Real forward-looking risk reduction work.)
