So I work in the IT department of a pretty large company. One of the things that we do on a regular basis is staged updates, so we'll get a small number of computers and we'll update the software on them to the latest version or whatever. Then we leave it for about a week, and if the world doesn't end we update the software onto the next group and then the next and then the next until everything is upgraded. We don't just slap it onto production infrastructure and then go to the pub.

But apparently our standards are slightly higher than that of an international organisation who's whole purpose is cyber security.

This is just the beginning of the coming vibe code apocalypse.

We are going to see a lot more of this type of bullshit now that there are no standards anymore. Fuck everything else and make that money people!

A permissions change in one database can bring down half the Internet now.

When are people going to realise that routing a huge chunk of the internet through one private company is a bad idea? The entire point of the internet is that it's a decentralized network of networks.

Meaning, internal error, like the other two prior.

Almost like one big provider with 99.9999% availability is worse than 10 with maybe 99.9%
