## What Jamie wrote

Maybe this group of leaders is a bit more pessimistic than the average?

> Perhaps the most striking revelation from the survey is that 88% of executives believe another major incident — comparable to the July global IT outage — will occur within the next 12 months. This sentiment is consistent across key markets, with a strong majority in the U.K. (91%), U.S. (89%), Australia (88%), and Japan (78%) viewing service disruptions as inevitable.

When that bad Crowdstrike update took so many systems down at least some folks thought "I’m amazed this doesn't happen all the time." The reality is that our understand of resiliency in distributed systems is still very immature. As an industry we are learning, but we are still in the early phases of this journey.
