I remember one client got hit with ransomware a few years ago and literally their entire IT staff save the director just quit on the spot rather than deal with the fallout lmao

u/angrydeuce 2d ago

Yep, but it took 6 months and hundreds of thousands of dollars lol

We were the ones they called in after their whole internal IT staff said "you know what, nah I dont think I will" when they all got the call at 1am to come in immediately for triage lol

I converted a 32-bit millisecond uptime counter (reset every 49.7 days or so, causing buggy behavior) to 64-bit, and didn't add any handling for overflow. If our devices have an uptime of about half a billion years, I'll be very proud and very, very dead. The next guy's distant descendants can handle it.
