> We’re definitely in a moment. I’ve seen a large shift away from discipline in the field. People don’t seem to care about professionalism or “good work”.
Agreed. Thinking back to my experience at a company like Sun, every build was tested on every combination of hardware and OS releases (and probably patch levels, don't remember). This took a long time and a very large number of machines running the entire test suites. After that all passed ok, the release would be rolled out internally for dogfooding.
To me that's the base level of responsibility an engineering organization must have.
Here, apparently, Crowdstrike lets a code change through with little to no testing and immediately pushes it out to the entire world! And this is from a product that is effectively a backdoor to every host. What could go wrong? YOLO right?
This mindset is why I grow to hate what the tech industry has become.
