Constantine is probably right in that the *World Wide Web* engineering is now sorta less resilient to an arbitrary failure than it used to be. One glorious example of that would probably be the "left-pad" incident circa 2016. The *Internet*, however, is different from the WWW, and it's undoubtedly much more stable today. -- Töma
