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.
