Granted I was younger and assumed circumstances of le carré proportions...
Wonky dns records leading to everyone getting free failover testing when us-east-1 goes down which also apparently includes free firmware failure mode exposure that may or may not cook your customers if your electrical engineers plan for thermal failure modes as well as your firmware engineers do with connectivity failure modes and sane timeouts... That I didn't envision, and to think a heavy percentage of IRC thought I was nuts... This is one hell of a timeline.
