how’s everybody in IT doing today? 😬 hanging in there?
@Annie Doing mostly okay here. Most of our critical infrastructure is Linux based anyway. 🙈 Surely, though, feeling with everyone who has to fix this mess today. Tough work ahead.
@aa, there was an update at a security software provider that went wrong and took a whole lot of (windows) infrastructure with it. I'm also fine — I'm on holiday ;-). Ok I did check our system quickly this afternoon.
@numericcitizen I like your write-up. many repercussions, indeed
@Annie Indeed. Worse, as I had to learn in my last job: Introducing infrastructure like the one that broke here just all too often is a mid-management decision, and the poor souls who have to fix its consequences would probably have done it better if one just let them. 😶
