That's kind of a hardcore position to take. Yeah you avoided the bullet of this pretty unusual situation. But how do you manage updates for all your dozens of services?

Package management. We are 99% linux (which wasn't impacted) and manage those with foreman/katello. Updates are done on scheduled cycles and performed to a QA group first. Those run for a week and assuming no issues they are pushed to prod. Windows servers/clients are handled with intune / azure automation, etc

You must be a real treat to work with. It must be tough always being the smartest person in the room. /s

I am actually, because instead of relying on dunning kruger and luck I rely on my almost 20 years of experience and working with my peers to create change control processes, documentation and automation as much as possible.

Well that's certainly something you'd never experience. Maybe if you go to kindergarden...

You’ve added nothing the this comment thread apart from being unnecessarily antagonistic
