I like the solution. I have dealt with a lot of back and neck problems myself, from the exact posture problem that you address (I made some adjustments for myself to combat these).

What are your thoughts on any issues that one might face, given the high electrical conductivity of carbon fiber?

Also, have you seen what this programmer did when he became unable to use his hands thanks to RSI?

I'm actually quite surprised at how quickly you were able to restore service (kudos!).
What I'm even more surprised about is the increasing frequency of your outages (granted the insanely high sample bias).
Are you able to release any information on what caused the outage? What is the typical corporate response to this? I mean, I'd guess that upper management thinks it's your job to make sure such outages don't happen. So how much pressure do they put on you when something like this happens? Does this affect job security at all? Are the newer members on your team freaking out a about this a lot more than those that have been there a while and have possibly seen such a crisis before?

What's a typical day at an SRE office like? I can understand what it must be like when a service goes down, but when everything seems to the end user, like it's working just fine, what are you guys doing (replacing HDDs in servers and taking backups aside)?

Do you hire interns? I'm doing my PhD at the moment and am looking for a summer internship.
