Or you can do what we do at BiglyCorp, have an absolute shitshow release where 250,000 customers crashed. Then act as if nothing happened and go along doing the same things that caused the shitshow. If you don't learn from mistakes, you've optimized for mistakes.

God, that's a really good turn of phrase.

Could be worse. I still wake up sweating thinking about a former job where several million identities were stolen. Tech staff tried to prevent it, even predicting high risk of mistake, but management pushed through it anyway.
A business mess is one thing, but losing somebody's identity is another level of feeling shitty.
