If anything, this just shows how short-term our memory is. I imagine crowdstrike stock will be back to where it was by the end of next week. I bet they don't even lose a meaningful amount of customers. Switching costs are too high. A r

This _feels_ good to a single dev working on a project, where the rules are intuitive, no explanation is needed, and deadlines are fluid. But I have to imagine this creates a lot of friction within a team, all trying to adhere to rules und

Yes and no. Ultimately there's about 5-10% of wiggle room. I would prefer not to spend an entire day in a dealership in a sales brinksmanship scenario for a 10% discount.
