The individual person that pressed the "go" button (if there was a person), is going to henceforth be __the best__ DevOps person to ever have on your team. They have learned a multi-trillion-dollar lesson that no amount of training could have prepared them for.

And the Crowdstrike CTO has either been given the ammunition to get __whatever they ask for, ever again__ with regard to appropriate allocation of resources for devops *or* they'll be fired (whether or not it's their fault).

And let me be very clear. This is absolutely, positively and wholly not the person that pressed the button's fault. Not even a little. At a company as integral as CrowdStrike, the number of mistakes and errors that had to have happened long before it got to "Joe the Intern Press Button" is huge and absurd. But many of us have been in (a much, much, *MUCH* smaller version of) Joe's shoes, and we know the gut sinking feeling that hits when something bad happens. A good company and team won't blame Joe and will do everything they can to protect Joe from the hilariously bad systemic issues that allowed this to happen.
