Without disagreeing, I was, at the time, the lead for Kiln. I was acutely aware that any major issue with our one and only data center would result in Kiln going offline and us suffering irreparable harm, and my name would be the one tied to that, despite me fighting really hard to solve the underlying problem. Yeah, it was a different time in some ways, but I'd make that same call in the same situation again in 2026, too.

You made the right call. I also worked at 55 wall.

My story [not as interesting] is that I was a emergency responder living in BPC and was relocated to the millennium hilton because it had a generator... BPC never lost power :/
