CrowdStrike unhappy with “shady commentary” from competitors after outage

- They do long term contracts. They're not gonna see many renewals but before then they're likely to continually see cash influx from monthly current subscribers. But I view them as a dead company walking, like LastPass
  
  Who else do you go to though? Ring 0 fed ramp security vendors are not exactly common.
  They'll keep a lot of business just from lock in
That's fucking rich, let me tell you. Because I'm an unwilling crowdstrike user who just today had another issue - we received a company-wide email that our PCs will be slowed down because crowdstrike is experiencing another botched update that makes it take up too much memory/CPU to do it's shady fucking background work.
I'm getting 5 second delays trying to snap a screenshot and they have the gall to complain about commentary. Here's some fucking commentary for you: I've hired interns who were more principled than your entire company when it comes to pushing to production. Wanna try doing the same for like, 30 consecutive days? Or are you branching out into selling "it has been X days since the last global incident" t-shirts? Cause at least that'd be one useful product climbing out of that shithole of a company.
