I mean they are clearly not as professional and tech-savvy as their "pedigree" would have us believe or they wouldn't have made so many amateur mistakes. But they clearly are good at convincing non-tech folks in a position to hire them that they are a lot more competent than they really are, so kudos on that?
Those of us who work in software understand that bugs happen even when you follow best practices. But if you don't even try to follow best practices for mission critical software, then roll out in production for the first time at a marquee event with millions watching, that's on you.

But if you don't even try to follow best practices for mission critical software, then roll out in production for the first time at a marquee event with millions watching, that's on you. Exactly. And this kind of incompetence may be expected from someone who is actually an amateur good at selling themselves. However, the leadership is clearly not comprised of amateurs. Thus, this level of incompetence is professional, almost criminal, neglect.

But I think it's more likely just another lesson in how far someone who is charismatic, well-connected, and self-promoting can advance, and how much credibility they can amass, while still essentially being a complete fraud who has none of the skills or experience they claim to have. Some folks take "fake it 'til you make it" to an art form, and they keep right on faking it even after they've made it.
