Berlimey! If a single bug can bring down the entire capitalist ediface in one go who needs #ClimateChange?

This one is being mentioned even on Sky Sports News as I write. It must be mega!

(Note: I have just spent 30 years teaching systems and software developers methods that stop this kind of thing happening. It's not really the developers' fault. The main problem is that the management won't let them do what needs to be done to prevent these problems. Why? Too much time and effort getting it right first time impacts their bottom line. Cheaper and easier to let the bug happen and simply respond to user bug reports!)

The second #SystemsFailure of the day.. I was warned about this, and knowing how tech organisations work, I shouldn’t be surprised. Beware EV “connected services” - especially if you buy an older EV, and especially if the manufacturer has an improved version of their connected services for their newer model. The older system will become harder to maintain, knowledge within the company may move/leave/be redeployed on the newer system and you as a consumer will have a poorer experience.
