I mean it's just eventual that shit like this will happen at that scale. As long as people are involved you really can't guard fully against it.

From the blog post someone else linked, it sounds like they do have this process but it's just a process it's not enforced by their control software. So someone has made a change without following the process, and they mention prioritising getting enforcement into their control panel or whatever.

Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.

Personally I think they have a much better track record of not making dumb mistakes than I do...

I guess mel isn't going to use you for their self hosting needs either, then.

And yet, two typos in this sentence alone... I hope you're more careful about proofreading your configs.
