Thank you, I am fucking sick of people passing this comic around in relation to the Crowdstrike failure. Crowdstrike is a $90bn corporation, they're not some little guy doing a thankless task. They had all the resources and expertise required to avoid this happening, they just didn't give a shit. They want to move fast and break things, and that's exactly what they did.

You're right people should have high expectations of crowd strike since it's a well funded company, and they should provide better support to the random project with a single maintainer.

That said, is there any indication crowd strike is a "move fast and break things" company? Sometimes people just fuck up, even if they don't have a crazy ideology.

You want proof they move fast and break things? They pushed an untested software update with auto update without rollout phases. How’s that for move fast? As for break things, well, do I need to explain?

Not sure why you're being aggro. I asked if this is part of their corporate identity. Zuckerberg went around literally advocating for that approach. Plenty of other companies are shitty without explicitly calling for that specific philosophy.

I just think that actions speak louder than words in this instance.

I think you mean without rollout phases.

Yes. Yes I meant that.
