Nice analysis of the OpenAI incident. The telemetry/DNS masking issue is a perfect example of how scale changes everything - what works fine in staging can fall apart spectacularly when all the pieces start dancing together in prod. Their recovery was hampered by a classic "turtles all the way down" problem where the tools needed to fix things depended on the broken stuff.
