Am I the only one who can't think of a time DNS has caused a production outage on a platform I worked on?

Lots of other problems over the years, but never DNS.

I have a coworker who always forgets TTL is a thing, and never plans ahead. On multiple occasions they've moved a database, updated DNS to reflect the change, and are confused why everything is broken for 10-20 minutes.

I really wish the first time they learned, but every once and a while they come to me to troubleshoot the same issue.
