This would happen with literally anything. Bus is late and you miss the flight. Weather is bad, flight gets delayed. You eat out and get food poisoning, can't get the flight.
Anything could have caused that really. Still very unfortunate but c'est la vie sometimes.
- javanissen 2y agoI agree. My desired tone for my comment was less “CrowdStrike is evil” and more “the universe, through its indifference to you, can be very cruel and absurd”
- recursive 2y agoSorry/Not sorry I stole your car. You just need to accept that the universe is cruel. Don't blame me.
- recursive 2y agoI mean yes, but so what? It wasn't anything, it was this.
- observationist 2y agoExactly. A preventable action by a company resulted in this. It wasn't a tornado, a hurricane, an asteroid, or aliens from another planet. Crowdstrike played stupid games and now they're going to win a lot of stupid prizes. They're responsible for the harm they inflicted on the world - the amount of handwringing apologia on their behalf is staggering. Companies and the people who run them absolutely need to be held accountable concomitant with the level of harm they inflict.
- lenerdenator 2y agoIt could have happened with anything, but instead, it happened because a company run by a guy with a multi-billion-dollar net worth couldn't be bothered to check if the software they were shipping actually worked.
