I reflexively shorted CRWD pre market friday because I thought "that's billions of liabilities, they are done" 3 minutes later oh crap it is bouncing who is buying this trash? https://m.uk.investing.com/news/company-news/cathie-woods-ark-buys-crowdstrike-sells-tesla-and-coinbase-stock-93CH-3601018?ampMode=1

I think it was due to bounce on Friday just because of technicals - but it will trend lower as more news comes in. Similar to Unity

Good write up, I can't believe that this went out. As you said, should have been caught by a CI/CD (that said I never coded c++, but I assume its similar to PHP, Kotlin, Java pipelines and needs to be compiled there before pushing to master). I never short, but Crowdstrike definitely moved out of my watchlist...

It is absolute insanity that they don't have automated test that catch wrong memory addresses, total failure.

I was actually astounded that not only did it happen on Friday, but that it already happened years ago as well.

I think don’t buy, don’t short, just observe and move on… don’t have to do anything, save brain cells for better things

Some good information here. Interestingly, the share price of CRWD was already going down pretty hard for a couple of days before the outage actually happened.
