The recent CrowdStrike incident has sparked debates about responsibility and blame. While it's easy to point fingers at the developer, this approach misses the bigger picture.
Developers are human, working under pressure and tight deadlines. Mistakes are inevitable. When such errors reach end users, it's not just the developer at fault—it's a sign of systemic failure.
Organizations should focus on building robust systems with automated testing, thorough code reviews, and strong CI/CD pipelines. These processes catch errors early, preventing them from escalating. Creating a supportive culture that emphasizes continuous learning and improvement is also crucial.
Instead of blaming individuals, let’s ask: Are the right safeguards in place? Are tools and processes adequate? Is the culture one of support?
Fixing the system, not blaming the developer, is the key to preventing incidents like CrowdStrike. Let's focus on building resilient organizations where mistakes are caught and corrected early.
