Good, make sure you document that. Then be sure any such thing that accidentally happens is named after the person who most deserves to be pruned.

Kinda heroic, ngl. I think the prison sentence is appropriate, but if I was let go after 11 years, I’d harbor fantasies of doing something similar. They’d stay fantasies, though.

Prison? For shutting down the computers? How many lives were lost because of his actions, how many were saved?

Lives lost is not the test of what was a crime and what was a prank. This could have done a lot of damage to everyone who worked there and any of there clients. The company could have done more but they can’t micro manage everyone nor should they.

I don’t know what his former company does, but it’s easy to imagine scenarios on both ends of the spectrum. From processing Bejeweled microtransaction payments to ER intake or ambulance dispatch. Doesn’t really matter in the end. Software is everywhere and we all use it. Unless the company is so bad that damaging it is a political act of defiance against evil (I’m looking at you, Nestle, Blackwater, etc), then there’s really no good argument for employees burning shit on their way out.

It could have shut down the company. I imagine there clients are looking to move to a competitor as they may be more trustworthy.

It appears to be a company that makes software for power plants. I wonder how secure their software is.

Corporations are like billionaires you don’t become one without willfully destroying the planet, stealing wages from the labor, and sometimes straight up murder. If you look hard enough they are cancer.
