The CrowdStrike Crisis Proves The Software Industry MUST CHANGE
The CrowdStrike disaster was a failure of software engineering at the company. It was caused by a development process that was clearly inadequate given the risks inherent in the design and approach to this critical system software.
In this episode, Dave Farley explores in more depth how the CrowdStrike system works, what went wrong, and why it went wrong. He also explores what CrowdStrike could, and should, have done to avoid this failure. This shouldn't be dismissed with a shrug and comment about how "bad things happen sometimes" response.
This was an easily predictable failure and Dave explains why, and how, we as an industry, should do better.
