bad code cost Microsoft billions of dollars

here's a fact, it was posted 9 minutes ago meaning no one has watched the full 14 minute video.

Short of it: Test and understand your code, you are more prone to errors if you blindly rely on tools like Chat GPT. That’s all he’s saying for 14 minutes.

Now you agree. I am always not in support of people canvassing "you don't need to learn coding "

[dxdanimeofficial]

This is what happens, if you just copy paste the code from AI. After this AI, people are not writing code like before.

There could have been better processes in place.

"All Microsoft computers" even the opening is completely wrong. It was not all, it was computers running 3rd party software. This sort of problem can happen to any OS. I'm a Linux user at home and Mac at work, I'm not a MS fanboy, but this video is misinformation.

Stop excusing people —that’s why you have code reviews and testing

Sir, in your Disney+ clone Detail.js is not working for the present configuration.

[Krizzoa]

what is that youtube summarise tool you used ?

[Papacrocs]

It didn't affect me at all. Heck all windows PC's at where I work was still perfectly okay...

[knofi]

It's not a big deal according to Microsoft because the bug affected only about 1% of all MS Windows installations.😂

[bitflave]

Or just make it easy to revert updates and only force updates if security related?
It is absurde today that on my windows pc I don't know if there is an update going on that will prevent me from using it as soon as I turn it on.

[andgoedu]

no no sir its not chatgpt, if you check the file its all zeros the compiler f'ked up, and they let that version release thats the issue they should have reviewed whats being pushed to updates, most of developers wont its like github decided to push a commit and somehow a file just cameback with empty code so the whole application break its basically dependency on tools not human mistakes, tools dependency is ruining the computer industry

Crazy how a channel with the title "clever programmer" couldn't understand what went down. In 2024 you are still trying to prove which OS is better. Just so you know... Software errors could happen to anyone.

[Kai-qiqe]

Best view on the Vegas sphere so far 😂😂😂😂😂

This video seems to imply that this was a mishandling by Microsoft, which it simply was not.

This was a failure of crowdstrike's QA processes, leading to a bad update through the rapid release channel. Due to the nature of crowdstrike's software (Endpoint Detection and Response) the systems are designed to not come up with a failing agent. Personal devices are unlikely to be affected as crowdstrike is an enterprise solution (an expensive one at that)

Most of the video is valid by pushing for more QA on code, but don't drag microsoft down with crowdstrike. It could've happened to any OS, in fact crowdstrike caused kernel panics on linux boxes a few months ago iirc. I'm disappointed at the coverage of the whole crowdstrike outage.

ChatGPT is great. Microsoft ChatGPT is below the lowest possible value.
