OpenChaos.dev — Democracy in Code, Until Vercel Saved the Blank Page

submitted by

www.openchaos.dev/

OpenChaos.dev is an experiment where the most upvoted pull request gets merged every day.
Today’s winning PR added a 1.337% chance of serving a blank page.
And Vercel, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, cached it.
So a probabilistic failure became a permanent outage.
