crowdstriking

1. The act of releasing a product (typically software) without adequate testing that then fails spectacularly and results in a significant adverse effect.
2. The practice of relying on end users to do the testing for you by releasing untested product.

Management said it HAD to be out today so we resorted to a bit of crowdstriking. I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen?

Dev 1: "Isn't the world too peaceful right now?"

Dev 2: "Don't worry, our next update will crowdstrike global infrastructure if the intern keeps it up."

Dev 1: "Haha- Wait, did we give the intern account rights to push to prod?"

Dev 2: "Oh fuck-!"

When a software change or update negatively affects Production devices (Like CrowdStrike 2024 did) and your blood pressure spikes similar to a heart attack.
