Blain’s Morning Porridge Oct 21st 2025: 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?We all think global tech is shiny and sparkly. But what if it’s just a couple of hamsters running round a wheel in their cage that keeps it all running? And what happens when one of them decides to take a nap, or Amazon forgets to feed them? (Power for Data centres is just one concern!)Use this link to go to full story on website
