TODOs to me are pretty useless. Usually, they end up lying around for a long while and just create clutter. Opening a ticket is usually much better


Cannot really rely on Github lately. Wondering if they have some sort of post mortem for the incidents of last month. I would like to see why we should trust it to not go down again.

You shouldn't ever trust anything to never go down again. It's just inevitable that services go down from time to time, you can't change that unless we have a major breakthrough in software engineering where somehow people stop making mistakes.

So instead of figuring out if you should "trust it to go down again or not", assume it will at one point in the future and plan accordingly. This is how you build resilient systems.
