Given today is Diwali, perhaps the reason everything went down is because the best and brightest from India were all on vacation and weren't there to babysit/roll back the deployment that broke everything?
We’ve reached a point where I can no longer distinguish between people without experience and people repeating the talking points they’re told to repeat. That’s a major loss.
However, talent is a very small part of shipping a project. How that talent is resourced is far more important.

I’m confused how they can have such a failure, they are employing the best and brightest top tier talent from India.
Hopefully they can increase their H1B allotment even more next year to help prevent these types of failures.
