summary
Argues that large-scale web systems succeed when operations the new secret sauce turns infrastructure and performance expertise into competitive advantage, points to the rise of AWS-era hosting and a 30-person 2007 summit that grows into a conference of thousands, and claims sites that survived 2001 did so by harnessing collective intelligence.
