Whether or not any of the post is accurate, it really just comes off as a begrudged ex-employee trying to throw dirt. As a supposedly former "senior software engineer", their entire description of the problem is that their system "went offline due to its outdated software packages and over utilized server resources aka cpu, memory and disk space.". There's zero technical detail, just an incredibly generic statement.

Each engineer, in their speciality, will point out the problems they are most intimately aware of. This one is possibly doing just that. Unless they’re uniquely positioned and highly perceptive, they’re only aware of a small piece of the whole.
