I think it also requires a mindset that a lot of young engineers don't have IMHO. Very few of them will ever ship code that will run 24/7 without patching, and be stable out of the box.
- pishpash 9y agoThe whole patching culture (it being so easy) is just bogus. It is moral hazard through and through.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoThis really worries me when they start writing critical applications. I did have to reboot an old school program at work today. Very dated piece of software, pretty sure it predates Windows 7. It had been running, over a (fairly complicated) network connection for 303 days. I can't think of many modern pieces of software that do their job 24/7 for 303 days straight. And I'm pretty sure the reason it was 303 days, was because I had to move that machine last year.
