This essay critiques the market-driven brittleness of modern tech infrastructure, using the July 2024 CrowdStrike software update outage—which disrupted airlines, hospitals, banks, and millions of Windows endpoints—as a case study; it argues that short-term incentives create single points of failure and calls for resilience practices like incremental rollouts, chaos engineering, and process-focused regulation to achieve deeper, nature-like robustness.
