Q: What is automation?
A: Breaking the network at scale.
I suppose we shall know more in the coming days, but to me, it smells
like a wide-scale automatic update roll-out that didn't go to plan.
Isn't the first time a major content provider has suffered this; likely
won't be the last.
In the end, the best thing for all of us is that it is a teaching
moment, and we move the needle forward.
