I see this attitude in so many places. We only hear about the misses that resulted in a big bang, and this makes everyone assume no bang means nothing to it rather than no bang could mean the people responsible to stop the bang actually did their job right.
@EdwinDownward @tychotithonus @robertatcara i don't think people realize have how much work goes in to making sure the ENTIRE INTERNET doesn't go down, all day, every day.
It's all bailing wire a chewing gum, and it takes work to chew all that gum and wind all that wire.
People don't realize it because it's done well most of the time. We only notice when something breaks, we don't notice when it's working.
