Kjell's Law: the cost of a platform eventually exceeds the cost of the one it replaced. But each cost is in a different budget.

We seem to have replaced cooling and power and a grumpy sysadmin with storage and architects and unhappy developers.

I've never worked in a data center that did cooling and power correctly. Everyone thinks they're doing it right, and then street power gets cut - there's significant impact, ops teams scramble to contain, and finally there's the finger-pointing.

I mean; it's impossible to plan for everything, and I'd argue that if you actually did plan for everything; it would be so extraordinarily overbuilt that it couldn't be considered 'correct'.
