The 'I work in I.T' thread

[charltjr]

Many people at Crowdstrike got that creeping ice water down the spine sensation really badly last night as the true horror of the issue dawned.

Can you imagine the shitstorm!

No one has the money for pre prod and testing mate. Just send it, be reet!

DevOps initttt

This is a massive longshot

But does anyone know of anyone selling any Supermicro Microcloud Epyc chassis and blades? Just been let down by a supplier for a deadline next week and these were meant to arrive today, bunch of c***s

Memory isn't too much of a sticking point as some of the customers need 128GB

Always deploy major changes straight to prod and do it as close to the weekend as possible.

This is our rule at work! No Ops deployments on a Friday unless you realllly have to to fix something.

Nothing past Wednesday should be the rule for dev/networks changes

Oh and stop testing in prod. Bunch of clowns🤣

Ops testing is fun though….haha.

Or what I’ve seen is people do code, get it reviewed, I’ve deployed it to a test environment and a smoke test, doesn’t work then I debug it to an error where it would never have compiled so how that dev decided “yep that will do” without even running their code baffled me.

Microsoft+Crowdstrike f**k up combo it appears.

I'm flying later. f**king w*****s.
I want to see the RFC presented for this change at CAB.

We are doing the change Friday avvro mate. No worries. Have a cold one and enjoy the weekend.

What a day, it really made my day. My mate calling me saying his estate is in tatters and I said he was having a CrowdStroke.

We laughed but I think he's crying.

I'm very thankful for not having to deal with end users.
but i'm very thankful that 1000+ users are aged enough to understand a guide to using DOS

I feel bad for all the first line guys who've got to try and talk someone through the workaround remotely, all on a Friday when the user will definitely be cooperative as they're so desperate to work on a Friday.

Every day is xkcd day, but especially gone 5pm on a Friday when you're still working
