Bugs happen.
Not staggering the updates is what blew my mind.
- londons_explore 2y agoSince the issue manifested at 04:09 UTC, which is 11pm where Crowdstrikes HQ is, I would guess someone was working late at night and skipped the proper process so they could get the update done and go to bed. They probably considered it low risk, had done similar things of times hundreds of times before, etc.
- dartos 2y ago> They probably considered it low risk Wild that anyone would consider anything in the “critical path” low risk. I would bet that they just don’t do rolling releases normally since it never caused issues before.
- hello_moto 2y agoCompanies these days are global btw. Not everyone is working on the same timezone.
- londons_explore 2y agoThey don't appear to have engineering jobs in any location where that would be considered regular office hours...
- hello_moto 2y agohttps://crowdstrike.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/crowdstrikecareers https://crowdstrike.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/crowdstrikecareers I see remote, Israel, Canada. https://crowdstrike.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/crowdstrikecareers/job/Machine-Learning-Operations-and-Response-Manager--Data-Science--Remote-_R18932 https://crowdstrike.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/crowdstrikec... This one specifically Spain and Romania I know they bought companies all over the globe from Denmark to other locations.
- londons_explore 2y ago0409UTC is 07:09 AM in Israel. Doubt an engineer was doing a push then either... All the other engineering locations seem even less likely.
- kchr 2y agoA good reminder of the fact that your Thursday might be someone else's Friday.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoTheir sales pitch is being the first to apply patches for any virus. I think it makes sense to try to push as quickly as possible when speed of updates is core to your sales pitch.
- RoyalHenOil 2y agoMarketing is supposed to sell the product, not lead the product. They need to get their priorities straight.
