When you know that something has to be done, but you’re not sure what to do, it’s helpful to frame the problem with known constraints like time.
Things are broken and if we don’t do something (even a 1/2 solution) we’ll be unable to recover at all.
But, sometimes the sense of urgency is guiding you to react too soon.
We have big problems, but if we take a system offline and communicate well to all involved, we can gain a few days to run scenarios.
