"CrowdStrike said it also plans to move to a staggered approach to releasing content updates so that not everyone receives the same update at once, and to give customers more fine-grained control over when the updates are installed."

I wasn't effected but I bet a lot of admins, as pissed as they were, were thinking "I could easily fuck up this bad or worse".

Yeah, what's the jokey parable thing?

A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There's been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button.
"Damn, you going to fire that guy?"
"Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?"
