It's mind boggling how an organization the size of CrowdStrike, built on endpoint agents running in kernel-mode had such an #epicfail. Was all of QA out this week or something? It's truly mind boggling so I'm really looking forward to the post-mortem, if we ever get one.

I am not.

The size of the organization may only serve to increase the number of potentially bad pieces of code from just plain old tech debt, poorly engineered, or just a hack job implementation. The ability to control quality of code is highly dependent on how staunch the organizational culture is around keeping the repos clean of dead, kludgey, or just bad code, and strict enforcement of agreed upon architecture.

QA was slaughtered by recent cuts.-
