All the techies losing hair, sleep, and family time trying to get this un-stuck are the excavator operators trying to get things un-fucked.

Let's see if "nobody ever got fired for choosing Windows" still holds a week from now. :blobcatpopcornnom:

Because obviously: computer go bad? Hackers!

Obviously.

Is he, perchance, a colonel?

I mean, screw Big Tech and that whole ecosystem, but we might want to take this opportunity to consider our own potential failure modes and near-misses.

> It was all Steve.
> We have now fired Steve, thus solving the problem once and for all.
> Bonuses to all management for a job well done!Yet another example why techies might want to consider unionizing. :blobcateyesblush:
