If anyone out there is working for the federal government and is managing systems in the crosshairs of the ongoing coup attempt, I am begging — begging — you:
Let them fail.
Don’t stop them from breaking it when they do something stupid.
Don’t help them learn the system when they shouldn’t even have access to the system..
Don’t set up self-healing guardrails for systems left unattended after you’re locked out or fired.
Don’t save them from themselves.
LET THEM FAIL.

@larsmb@mastodon.online@inthehands It's even a known strategy in dependable computing: fail-fast.
