The thing that really gets me about this one is the extent to which the people involved were promoted. I would like to believe that a story like this was just a statistical fluke. Some unlikely coincidence, or maybe a particularly bad apple.
But this one involved a lot of people. That, plus the lack of an internal investigation and the subsequent promotions tell me this couldn't have been just a fluke or a bad actor the system hadn't had time to spit out yet.
My years of debugging make me think of a bad outcome we notice as a gift. It's a chance to see where both the system and our understanding of it were deficient. A chance to improve. I hope we don't waste that chance here.
