Reading stuff like "heads gonna roll" in the comments is kind of shocking to me. Have you never screwed up in your job?
How long have they shipped a secure Linux to a couple of hundred different devices simultaneously, while improving security, fixing critical bugs soon and delivering a pretty great user experience since they first launched Chrome OS? Sure, were soft bricks before, critical fixes introduced other bugs, duh. The same happens on Windows, macOS, Linux distributions - we're all human, we make mistakes, we try to learn from each mistake.
Don't give them a hard time. They already were in panic mode already.
- nameless912 5y agoYup. My second or third month at my first job, I accidentally knocked out internet access for thousands of people for a couple of hours because I deleted something in production rather than in dev. It was terrifying and I was sure I would be fired. Rather than being canned, of course, the team managing the tool that allowed me to delete the resource learned the following: 1) people should not be able to delete things without confirmation in production 2) it should be very obvious which environment you're in 3) normal humans shouldn't have access to production except for operations folks. That's the value of blameless post mortems.
