<p>~681 American footballs. At 27 balls per team per NFL game, an average of 17.8 games per team per season, and an annual salary cap of $301 million, those many balls are equivalent to a salary of $481 million. So by weight, footballs are "worth" 12 times the price of gold.<p>Joe Burrow weighs 215 lbs and makes $55 million per year. That makes him worth his weight in gold x4.<p>I'm still researching the average weight of a football field. Depends if it has rained recently.</p>

<p>> They really need to figure out a way to correlate global configuration changes to the errors they trigger as fast as possible.<p>This is what jumped out at me as the biggest problem. A wild west deployment process is a valid (but questionable) business decision, but if you do that then you need smart people in place to troubleshoot and make quick rollback decisions.<p>Their timeline:<p>> 08:47: Configuration change deployed and propagated to the network<p>> 08:48: Change fully propagated<p>> 08:50: Automated alerts<p>> 09:11: Configuration change reverted and propagation start<p>> 09:12: Revert fully propagated, all traffic restored<p>2 minutes for their automated alerts to fire is terrible. For a system that is expected to have no downtime, they should have been alerted to the spike in 500 errors within seconds before the changes even fully propagated. Ideally the rollback would have been automated, but even if it is manual, the dude pressing the deploy button should have had realtime metrics on a second display with his finger hovering over the rollback button.<p>Ok, so they want to take the approach of roll forward instead of immediate rollback. Again, that's a valid approach, but you need to be prepared. At 08:48, they would have had tens of millions of "init.lua:314: attempt to index field 'execute'" messages being logged per second. Exact line of code. Not a complex issue. They should have had engineers reading that code and piecing this together by 08:49. The change you just deployed was to disable an "execute" rule. Put two and two together. Initiate rollback by 08:50.<p>How disconnected are the teams that do deployments vs the teams that understand the code? How many minutes were they scratching their butts wondering "what is init.lua"? Are they deploying while their best engineers are sleeping?</p>

<p>I've been wanting something like this for years. It's simply impossible for millions of companies to individually review the thousands of updates made to their thousands of dependencies every day.<p>Imagine a world where every software update has hundreds of signoffs from companies across the industry. That is achievable if we work together. For only a few minutes a day, you too can save a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability from going unpatched :)</p>
