- adamnemecek 9y agoI wouldn't be too hasty to blame the employees. A lot of times, bugs are a result of organizational structure. As they say, you ship your org chart. It can happen very easily that a feature relies on collaboration between many teams and more often than not there isn't a single person who has a good understanding of the whole pipeline. Bugs sneak in easily.
- Kenji 9y agoSomeone, or a group of people, is responsible for deploying this server in its configuration. These people are incompetent. I don't care if it's an engineer or leadership or corporate structure problem - it is a problem caused by incompetence. If you have a potentially lethal car accident because the car was faulty, nobody's gonna say "Oh well, it's just the corporate structure, nobody is responsible."
