Constantine is probably right in that the *World Wide Web* engineering
is now sorta less resilient to an arbitrary failure than it used to
be.  One glorious example of that would probably be the "left-pad"
incident circa 2016.  The *Internet*, however, is different from the
WWW, and it's undoubtedly much more stable today.
