Its very humbling coming out of startup-land and working with big tech engineers and realizing their tooling runs circles around everybody else and enables them to be much more precise with their work and scale, though it isn't without trade-offs.

Yeah but a lot of that is just the accrual of improvements that is possible with a lot of resources over a long period of time.

People working in "big tech" aren't fundamentally better at building reliable tools and systems; the time and resource constraints are entirely different.

And the stakes! This outage might have cost the OP $10k. A similar snafu at a larger company might have cost tens of millions or more.

The big tech tooling probably cost tens of millions of dollars to create, and probably had a couple $10k mistakes on the way to getting it written and running.
