Context - someone on the birdside are blaming #crowdstrike on DEl hiring Here's the thing folks. I've been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it's an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can "git blame" and point to a human and it's awful. But it's the testing, the CI/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It's always one line of code but it's NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist.
Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn't a "git gud C++ is hard" issue and it damn well isn't an DEl one. 口参O 12,698 417

In an unexpected turn of events, a sensible take on #Crowdstrike from the Orange Site.

Screenshot of a Hacker News comment. Text follows: So CrowdStrike is deployed as third party software into the critical path of mission critical systems and then left to update itself. It's easy to blame CrowdStrike but that seems too easy on both the orgs that do this but also the upstream forces that compel them to do it. My org which does mission critical healthcare just deployed ZScaler on every computer which is now in the critical path of every computer starting up and then in the critical path of every network connection the computer makes. The risk of ZScaler being a central point of failure is not considered. But - the risk of failing the compliance checkbox it satisfies is paramount. All over the place I'm seeing checkbox compliance being prioritised above actual real risks from how the compliance is implemented. Orgs are doing this because they are more scared of failing an audit than they are of the consequences failure of the underlying systems the audits are supposed to be protecting. So we need to hold regulatory bodies accountable as well - when they frame regulation such that organisations are cornered into this they get to be part of the culpability here too.

Too funny: In 2010 McAffe caused a global IT meltdown due to a faulty update. CTO at this time was George Kurtz. Now he is CEO of #crowdstrike

Defective McAfee update causes worldwide meltdown of XP PCs

Oops, they did it again. Early this morning, McAfee released an update to its antivirus definitions for corporate customers that mistakenly deleted a crucial Windows XP file, sending systems into a reboot loop and requiring tedious manual repairs.

Maybe rather than trying to shove AI and ads in every portion of Windows Microsoft should focus on not letting their cybersecurity partners take down computers and networks all over the world.

Oh, Fatima. I bet you wish you'd stayed in ballet now, don't you.
