Stock dropped from almost 400 to almost 200. :) One mistake....

It was more than one mistake. Where was the QA, the staged rollout, the CI? It brought unto question how competent this company is to be a dominant player in such a critical market.

I work in that space and I've been consulting for many tech companies. It's always a mess behind the scenes. Many of them don't have ci/cd or testing environments. It's kind of funny because the public image is always excellent. :)

Even Amazon and those big tech champions are running devops into the ground. This is public knowledge at this point...
