If it was something truly idiotic or malevolent, sure. Otherwise, that would be a really crap culture to work in.

- coretx 5y agoMany people love to work at let's say, a nucleair powerplant or certain aspects of the military and experience similair pressure to not fail.One could say such work is not for everyone but to state it's "crap culture" is somewhat disrespectful towards the people who do it and the masses who suffer when things go wrong.
- jhugo 5y agoThankfully, here in the real world, nuclear power plants and similar critical infrastructure in most countries operate with a safety culture, where people are encouraged to report their mistakes, learn from them, and help others avoid making the same mistakes, rather than a punitive culture, where people are incentivised to hide mistakes in order to save their job.
- coretx 5y agoBGP is spoken by all cultures, including those who do not know what "safety culture" is, and thats a good thing because it allows for everyone to connect to the internet, bridging cultures. When the critical infrastructure in Texas went down, it had everything to do with corporate culture, trying to save jobs, and not with security culture. The engineers where not to blame, what we discus today is likely a similair case. At nuclear power plants, a single individual can't cause a meltdown due to security culture. In case of AS owners/engineers this is not always the case yet all of them know how not to fail with the exception of some who are ruled by another working culture than those who talk bgp.One that is not punitive but open albeit with social hygiene keeping the incompetent & corrupt out. The recent events are not a mistake to be forgiven but a failure to be studied while not taking risks by eliminating the human source.
