"Swinging the Pendulum" is my favourite operating principle @Shopify. I learned it here and used for many years in leadership. It's a metaphor we used to communicate when we need teams to start optimizing for the other end of the spectrum. Here's how it works:

"The network should be able to run on its own without the automation system for 24-48 hours." Great automation principle from @rtggeek in @packetpushers Heavy Networking 629:
