It's a bit odd to come from the outside to judge the internal process of an organization with many very complex moving parts, only a fraction of which we have been given context for, especially so soon after the incident and the post-mortem explaining it.

I think the ultimate judgement must come from whether we will stay with Cloudflare now that we have seen how bad it can get. One could also say that this level of outage hasn't happened in many years, and they are now freshly frightened by it happening again so expect things to get tightened up (probably using different questions than this blog post proposes).

As for what this blog post could have been: maybe a page out of how these ideas were actively used by the author at e.g. Tradera or Loop54.

This would be preferable, of course. Unfortunately both organisations were rather secretive about their technical and social deficiencies and I don't want to be the one to air them out like that.
