Be kind to your fellow IT professionals today and this weekend. They are going through a lot right now as they work tirelessly to restore services caused by a CrowdStrike defect. Buy them a beer, a coffee, a hot chocolate etc. Give them a hug.
Here's some advice from the other side of the curtain: Programmers are not as dumb as you think. They are often aware of an issue, but it's prioritized as trivial and they don't have internal power to force the issue.
So complaining (CORRECTLY) is actually... really important.
1960s: "COBOL will let non-programmers make the software!"
1980s: "4GLs will let non-programmers make the software!"
2000s: "UML will let non-programmers make the software!"
2020s: "AI will let non-programmers make the software!"
This is a big overstep by Microsoft imo

Loading #C64 game directly from glow-in-the-dark vinyl record. The noise is binary audio, computer processes the data fed from the vinyl and the game is loading in real-time. We also created an online scoreboard. Shit can’t get any cooler 🔥
@jabenso1@passingthehash@nscottg@SwiftOnSecurity I think it’s just as important to be as open about the story after the fact, especially around new hires.
It reinforces the reporting culture in the organisation and helps people build a spidey sense for things they really need to pay attention to.
