The system is unavailable.
The President called.
Is the site up?
We could use a chart that goes
up and to the right.
Dickerson's Hierarchy of Reliability
Welcome! Please select from
our menu of delicious
problems.
It was on fire when I got here.
Since it was on fire when I got
here, I should continue to
cover everything in fire
retardant.
Over 7 million people insured.
What problem do I wish I was
working on?
The President is going to be on
CNN at 2 PM; will the site be
up by then?
Are the problems you are
solving now higher quality than
the problems you were solving
last week?
Thank you
