SLOs with an observation period of, for example, one week, are of course not overly affected by short-lived outliers. Teams who are primarily reactive in their approach therefore use SLOs to decide when the state of a system has become so bad that it requires intervention. Are you still “reacting to bad numbers”?

OS X, which used to trumpet “It just works,” has evolved to “it used to just work”; the most user-centric Unix-like system ever built now staggers under the load of new and poorly thought-out features. One advantage of computers, of course, is that they don’t care about complexity. (Could Git’s complexity be managed better?
