Quick appreciation post for checklists.
I had to do a delicate migration in prod, so I did the SRE thing: step by step checklist, minimize the critical sections where things are down, lots of sanity checks, dry run first. (If I was really serious, I'd have found someone to watch over my shoulder.)

Fun fact: "six seven" traces its roots all the way back to Old English in the 1380s. Geoffrey Chaucer coined it in his epic poem Troilus and Criseyd:
"But manly set the world on sixe and sevene;
And, if thou deye a martir, go to hevene."
