so... it wasn't tested

So you need to write a test for every single possible case to consider your code tested?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hold GCP & co to a higher standard than run of the mill software. The platform generates around $100mn per day for Google with a 10% operating margin.

Testing all inevitable code paths which have the capacity to bring the platform down as soon as it’s deployed doesn’t seem like an unreasonable ask for a corp operating at that scale.

I mean... yes?
