Cloudflare Outage Sneaks Up Behind Your Weeks of Code Reviews and Stress Tests

Description

A meme using the famous photo of Jason Momoa sneaking up behind Henry Cavill on a pink carpet at an event. Henry Cavill, wearing a formal dark suit and walking confidently, is labeled 'Spending weeks in code reviews and stress tests to prove my code won't crash the app.' Jason Momoa, grinning mischievously and approaching from behind in casual dark clothing, is labeled 'cloudflare outage.' The meme captures the futility of meticulously testing your own code when an external infrastructure dependency like Cloudflare can take down everything regardless of your code quality

    Your code has 99.999% uptime, but it's deployed on infrastructure that has 99.999% downtime. It's the Schrödinger's Cat of service reliability
