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...
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.
Great stuff mate. thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it!
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

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
