  > And these customers absolute lack of technical due diligence, on this nth example, of move fast and break things...makes them deserve what they are getting. That’s a garbage take. These customers didn’t move fast or break things. They trusted a company that made a promise and that company let them down.

    I totally trusted this vendor selling me this snake oil, and he promised me it would work. I can't believe he let me down. This is all his fault.

I think it is fine, the person hasn't really leaked any critical information. He named a few clients that are mostly government departments, and it would be a public interest concern if said issue is ignored for 6 months anyway
