“mounting operational risks” is my main complaint with the “there is no maintenance” thread that was here the other day.

Maintenance is looking at all of the probability < 10^-4 issues that are just waiting for you to roll the dice enough times to eventually lose to the birthday problem. Every day you’re lowering the odds that tomorrow will be the day everything burns, because doing nothing is just a waiting game.

Yeah that was such a 'social media hot take' kinda thing I didn't even feel like getting into that conversation. Misaligned interests make it a good idea to get into a project, slash things to the bone, cut a fat bonus check due to savings achieve, cut and run. That's how we got the supply chain mess of 2021...
