Isolating a VoIP datacenter in broad daylight, without dropping a call
Working on a datacenter during business hours without cutting a customer. The drain runs through DNS, not the SBC: pull the IP, let sessions finish, restore by mirroring. The real trap is the TTL.

In UCaaS, the question isn't which solution, it's who reads your communications
A UCaaS roundup compares features. In the field, what decides is size, cost, and above all what the platform lets itself do with your data. RingCentral asks for access to your recordings and your private messages. This client moved to Wazo.

In SIP, what's negotiated isn't what's supported
Three trunks that refused to place a call between two vendors. Each time, a peer that signals one thing and does another. The SBC absorbs it, the trace settles it.

I don't automate the decision, I automate the fact that it expires
A CVE lands on a component you run. The faulty dependency was fixed upstream weeks ago, but the image publisher never rebuilt. You can't patch, you can't ship, and you can't forget. What happens next doesn't delegate to a model, and it's the best explanation I know of what AI cannot do.
