#MoveFastAndBreakThings might not be a bad idea in this case. 
“President Donald Trump is running out of patience with Boeing, which was supposed to deliver two new Air Force One planes by the end of his predecessor's term. And guess who he's turning to to speed things up? Elon Musk, who Trump has "empowered" to take measures to get the beleaguered aerospace company to stop dragging its feet, the New York Times reports.”

“…the context of software and any context where life and limb are in play react very differently to things if one tries to fail fast.”

Interesting, so apparently the #CTO of #Cloudstrike is #GeorgeKurtz, the same CTO who oversaw the fiasco about 10 years ago when #McAfee #antivirus was falsely flagging a crucial system file within #Windows, and apparently he had been bragging about just how fast they were getting these updates out... Despite the fact that the updates in question included code that ran inside of kernel space at startup, meaning if they didn't run properly on any system that system would crash before it could even get to the login screen.
So clearly we know that there was some bad management involved, and while it was definitely not the fault of just one person, this offers us some insight into what the #management problem was: a focus on speed over carefulness, in a situation where a broad range of critical infrastructure could be crashed if a mistake was made.
"Move fast and break things" indeed...

Wieso wir «Move fast and break things» falsch verstehen — und wie wir Software besser machen können - Das Netz ist politisch https://dnip.ch/2024/06/13/move-fast-and-break-things-falsch-verstehen/
Zum Glück hat @glyph vor ein paar Monaten seinen Artikel «Safer, not Later» geschrieben, in dem er
die Vorgeschichte des Mottos packend erläutert,
die realen Probleme auflistet, welche das Motto (richtig angewendet) löst,
wieso nur so effiziente, vertrauenswürdige und stabile Softwareentwicklung möglich ist und
was passiert, wenn man es falsch anwendet.

«Move fast and break things» war bis vor wenigen Jahren das Motto von #Facebook, jetzt #Meta, und hat die Tech-Industrie geprägt wie wohl kein zweites.
Es ist ein sehr mächtiges Motto, welches moderne, zuverlässige und vertrauenswürdige #Softwareentwicklung motiviert. Aber leider wurde es auch zu häufig falsch verstanden (oder missbraucht) und hat damit viel Schaden angerichtet.

"But over the last quarter-century or so, the idea of disruption has also metastasized into a sort of cult, the credo of which holds that everything is to be disrupted, all the time, and that if you're not changing everything, you're losing."

"Ultimately, what we did find is some #viruses, such as #HIV, #COVID, chlamydia, rubella, malaria, things of that nature," Zieba said.
"#OceanGate is the ultimate result of the Zuckerbergian '#MoveFastAndBreakThings' mantra — the idea that if you’re not breaking things, you’re not moving fast enough, and that speed of delivery and execution is a worthwhile trade for some sort of destruction."

@ErikJonker Het blijft niet bij "lezen", een AI trainen betekent het maken van afgeleide werken. Dat iets online staat wil niet zeggen dat het publiek domein is. Mensen zetten dingen online binnen een context met een bepaald doel. Het "Grab all you can" waarmee BigTech zijn datasets nu vult negeert dit volledig.
