> people were writing that ridiculous SLA's, such as "4 hour response to a vulnerability

I didn't see people explaining why this was ridiculous.

> make it practically impossible to release well-tested code

That falsely presumes the release must be code.

CrowdStrike say of the update that caused the crash: "This Rapid Response Content is stored in a proprietary binary file that contains configuration data. It is not code or a kernel driver."




>I didn't see people explaining why this was ridiculous.

Because of how it affects priorities and incentives.

E.g.: as of 2024, CrowdStrike didn't implement staggered rollout of Rapid Response content. If you spend a second thinking why that's the case, you'll realize that rapid and staggered are literally antithetical.

Well, they are lying.

The data that you feed into an interpreter is code, no matter what they want to call it.
