This is bullcrap. You can't blame the faulty patch on the automated testing. Automated testing is supposed to be an additional line of defense, not your only check of 'okay, it works'. What happened to any sort of functional testing on any machines before the dev pushed it live?

I have heard terrible things about Crowdstrike's engineers and management, including about their wild cowboy deployment (push live from your dev machine after you compile, Compiles On My Machine ™️ shrug shrug shrug) apparently all true.
