What a great and transparent analysis of the outage. No excuses, honest admission of mistakes, and even shared an internal chat. Many large corporations could learn from this.

@rolle

I find this especially interesting, as they did advertise the FL2 got rid of complete categories of bugs when using Rust, related to memory safety, BUT... I think this advertised feature of Rust gives false sense of security for many.

As Rust seems to wrap errors to monads of sorts, and has the tools for correctness, but doesn't FORCE the programmer to handle those, is a big loophole for a language advertising safety.
