    this is why the 80's was the best decade no internet, no cloud (as well as best music, best movies, best TV shows)

    I work in software development and there are so many times when teams are pressured to "just get the release out!" because something was committed without proper planning so vital testing gets pushed to the side. But this is a great example of what reputation damage can occur with poor quality controls.

    The company I work for is down. Called our IT department and they have no timetable for when our computers will be back up. I have tried to restart my work computer 12 times
