Exactly, it's 1990s 'cool' - the time it took him to write the blog, he could have written a script that would send him updates on all his devices...

There's no reason not to have multiple fail-safes. Receiving the alert on a device at 3am would still mean he could free up 8gb immediately and have breathing room to solve the problem. And remember this is for a single admin. Asking such a person to be on call 24-7 all year, vacations, holidays, weekends... Having a quick way to get breathing room can significantly reduce the stress & cognitive load of worrying about such things in your off-time.

He didn't mention he has alerts. Sure if alerts is your first line of defense, this is a nice thing to do.
