> [...] after the shit that came out on Twitter about how things are done in their "move fast, break things, kill people" organization. Like what?

Everyone knows what is being said on Twitter is the truth! People wouldn't lie on the internet would they?

Perhaps this[1]? It starts with a bit about how they had to SSH into everyone's car to fix a bootloop, and goes downhill from there. [1]: https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939617404645376 https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939617404645376

  Wow... I honestly feel better about my work now. That was remarkable reading.

  Wow...I always thought software development in the automotive field was superior in terms of care, precision etc to that of an average software company. Now I can without doubt tell the stack and the codebase in the organization that I work is far more robust and carefully done.

    I'm incredibly careful with all my projects when it comes to security or avoiding bugs in general. It's only been after a decade or so working in my field that I took on projects where I had to write authorization/authentication code, or where I had to harden and manage a server. Every single time that I took on work as a contractor for "Serious" BigCo, I was shocked by how much worse they were handling all of it. Literally no exception. For some of the chaotic startups I worked for, I wasn't too surprised, but this was the norm everywhere. For example, as a contractor I'd be able to take entire continents' high-traffic websites offline for a particular media company, probably costing them a noticeable amount of money. Not only could I do this, but I could still do so more than a year after I had left the company. I suppose having the resources to open up a can of lawyers makes a big difference though. So I'm still very careful personally.
