I'm not arguing Netflix, its mostly your attitude towards management and engineering culture. Basically your reply to the user "q3k". "Extrinsic motivators like 'we will give you a bonus' or 'we will fire you' are surprisingly bad at getting people to not fuck things up". You don't fire people just because they made a mistake. You find out what caused it, how to prevent it in the future, and you move on. That's what blameless post-mortems are about. No one is perfect and if you really are a manager that expects perfection, you really just suck as a person.

But now getting back to Netflix, they have post-mortems and they don't fire people willy-nilly over mistakes. Sure it's not hugops (a term I don't care for either), but they don't just up and fire people over a mistake. I never said anything about netflix going up or down on that day, but they also have problems just like everyone else. Their SLA is not 100% uptime and neither is Fastly.

In closing, you are being a pedantic little bitch who wants to argue minutia and I'm done with your trolling. I'm done responding to you, feel free to have the last reply as I really don't care anymore.
