I can't believe people on HN are posting this stuff over and over again. Either you are holistically disconnected from what proper software development should look like or outright creating the same environments that resulted in the crowdstrike issue.

Software security and quality is the responsibility of everyone on the team. A good UX designer should be thinking of ways a user can escape the typical flow or operate in unintended ways and express that to testers. And in decisions where management is forcing untested patches everyone should chime in.

Not true; UX designers typically are responsible for advocating for a robust, intuitive experience for users. The fact that kernel updates don’t have a user interface doesn’t make them exempt from asking the simple question: how will this affect users? And the subsequent question: is there a chance that deploying this eviscerates the user experience?

Granted, a company that isn’t focused on the user experience as much as it is on other things might not prioritise this as much in the first place.

the person you're replying will not take any sane argument once they decided that UX must be involved in kernel technical decision...
