Would be nice to give a little credit at least to Sydney Dekker, especially since you mention one of his books "Just Culture".
The Field Guide to Human Error is also an excellent eye opener, and to really rub it in take a read of Dietrich Dorners book The Logic of Failure.
These have been around some time, and have a huge impact on how we can choose to operate IT systems safely.
Appmaker was treated just like all those other too good sci fi shows on TV when that had schedules.

Not properly linked from the menus, had to spin up a 'default sql instance' on cloud in order to use _any_ sql.

When GCP cocks up it knocks out many, many projects for a while.
Question is, for -me- are they more likely to cockitup, or me? I still think that for anything outside my core skillset and that of those around me, it's a fair bet that theirs will be significantly better, with the added advantage that when they _do_ mess up, it's pub time not panic stations.
