I generally like rachels posts, but I don't know what the hell she's talking about here.

  The updated version of the program, when pushed to servers, crashed the older version of the program on other servers which had yet to be updated. Rather than rolling back to diagnose and understand the cause, they charged on updating all the servers.

    That part I understand. What wasn't elaborated on is what problems that caused and why it was a bad idea.

  I don’t subscribe to the blog so perhaps it’s a selection bias, but the tone in those posts often feels passive aggressive. In particular, I don’t like when folks write blog posts like that instead of talking to their colleagues. I remember being on a receiving end of such post as an ‘anonymous moron from someone’s work’ and as you can imagine, there was infinitely more nuance to the matter than my colleague ever cared to mention.
