new post: the senior engineer death spiral

a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.
If you send DNS queries to 9.9.9.9 on port 9953, you can resolve hostnames, so this might be useful to someone stuck during the outages. ICMP and TCP seem to work, at least for me, but of course without DNS there is no much else to do other than wait.
I’m looking forward to @VodafoneIreland outage post-mortem. I’d like to understand why outgoing DNS traffic on port 53 seems to be firewalled (so you cannot workaround using 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8/etc), and why some queries return SERVFAIL intermittently.
The RCA for the outage we had at GitHub yesterday is live.
We're sorry it happened and hope this answers your questions about it. The team is already working on the actions listed here to fix it.
