Hey man, really sorry to hear about your mom, keeping her in my prayers 🙏
And I can see what you mean about how it could be labeled as bad luck, when in reality there was infrastructure and dependencies that caused it to happen. Regardless, I think two things can still be true at once. The fact that there was cascading failure, but also the fact that it all happened so suddenly like this. That's hard to deal with.
This means something to me. I am sorry you are under two-front stress, both excruciating in their owns ways. One exacerbating the other in a continual feedback loop. Prayers for your mom. First and foremost.
I am freelance. I have a mother far away. I really do feel this and I will take heed.
Powerful processing story here, especially given the circumstances. The ownership and reflection here is very admirable, and hopefully builds resiliency against future breaks.
“You can’t rebuild what you can’t see clearly. You can’t see clearly from inside the emotion of it.”
We get attached to our work, blinded by relationships, confident in historical data. All of these are natural. You continue to find ways to zoom out and it’s very inspiring to see you extract clarity almost seemingly as you write this.
Still praying for you and your Mom and wishing for the situation to resolve itself soon🙏🏻

Stay strong brother ✊
He called it an audit
because audit was a language
that could hold the weight
without breaking.
The grief was real.
The border was real.
The money was real.
But naming them as architecture
was the only way
to keep standing
long enough
to address the largest crack first.

Your mother is in the ICU and you can't get to her. That's not an infrastructure problem. That's just... unbearable. Please stay strong 💪🏻 x
