Tired: showing off high uptime to prove your system can run uninterrupted for a long time.

Wired: showing off low uptime to prove your system survives a reboot.

I've been advocating this for years, and continue to do so: high uptime should be a monitoring alert condition.

It drives gaining several benefits for your systems and teams:

- normalizes maintenance tasks as part of usual routine
- lowers operational overhead
- enables faster incident response
- encourages regular upgrades
- improves robustness and resiliency

Rebooting a system should not be an exceptional ceremony after hours, it should be a standard operation during work hours.
