Beyond standard troubleshooting, how can 'sans soul ops' contribute to *preventing* 404 errors at a fundamental architectural level?

'Sans soul ops' emphasizes automation, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code. By codifying the entire infrastructure, including deployment pipelines, server configurations, and link management, you reduce the risk of manual errors leading to 404s. Automated link checkers, continuous integration with static analysis for URL validation, and infrastructure monitoring tools that track broken links and 404 rates all contribute to a more robust and error-resistant system.
