100% agree with that. The thing that baffles me a bit, then, is that if you are writing software that is so critical and can have such a catastrophic impact when things go wrong, that you double and triple check everything you do - what you DON'T do is use the same level of care you may use with some social media CRUD app (move fast and break things and all that...)

To emphasize, I'm really just thinking about the bad practices that were reported after the SolarWinds hack (password of "solarwinds123" and a bunch of other insider reports), so I can't say that totally applies to CrowdStrike, but in general I don't feel like these companies that can have such a catastrophic impact take appropriate care of their responsibilities.



As mentioned above, clearly the market doesn't reward good engineering.
