Blain’s Morning Porridge Oct 21st 2025: Time for a rethink on Tech Resiliency?
Time for a rethink on Tech Resiliency?
“Did someone forget to feed the hamster?”
Western economies are dependent on functional tech. Yesterday’s Amazon outage suggests the resiliency of tech infrastructure is creaking, raising multiple issues about dependency and costs. Could a shift in how companies secure against Tech vulnerabilities see the MAG3 firms at the core of global tech infrastructure hit?
When I opened Linked-in this morning, I was deluged in adverts from Amazon Web Services, telling me all about how they automate, create and reduce costs, while boosting my productivity. No surprise really, the spyware that watches our every keystroke would have picked up I was searching for info on yesterday’s outage. I posted a very rude message in reply.
What I was looking for was some data or narrative to back up for my thesis we might just have suffered the No-See-Um moment that breaks the myth of the West’s all powerful Tech?
