Sometimes, the world seems to hang together with bailing wire and duct tape. Like today when a botched update by a key internet security provider caused Windows systems all over the world to go into a boot loop. Really fun stuff.

The direct impacts to me are a cancelled code review meeting because Azure DevOps was unavailable and a flight delayed by a couple of hours. Not too bad in the scheme of things, but annoying nonetheless. Mostly, I’m just glad I’m no longer on the IT administration side of things as I’m sure this was really fun to clean up. .
