Good Sunday reading:
https://lobste.rs/s/a23bk3/netbsd_my_life_2005
A great real-world story from 2005 about NetBSD, reliability, and how keeping infrastructure simple can make a real difference.
One story among thousands from that era, I imagine. It also makes me wonder how we ended up adding so much complexity to infrastructure over the last 15 years to solve many problems that aren't exactly new.
