The other commenter was actually just mixing it up with the broken windows fallacy[0]. Funnily enough, it's a common enough confusion that both of the pages reference each other at the top of the page.

Do you have any favorite episodes you'd recommend starting with?
Wow, wasn't expecting that quick of a turnaround.
No worries, on the whole the documentation is top notch.
The link in the docs to the CloudFormation template source is broken: https://docs.metaflow.org/metaflow-on-aws/deploy-to-aws#clou... Instead of /Netflix/metaflow-tools/aws it should probably be /Netflix/metaflow-tools/tree/master/aws
My main issues are that if you're using the serving functionality, the containers it builds take a long time to start because the environment/dependencies are loaded at runtime instead of being baked into the image. Also, it doesn't have the ability to use a db or remote file store to save experiment info, so you need to use EBS volumes or something for persistence.
