They are ridiculing the carrier for extreme sloppiness in facilitating the output and allowing it to be promulgated. Carelessness is never going to be a good call for airline.
With respect, someone is categorizing programmers as "nearly autistic" on the basis of zero understanding of (a) the underlying root cause of the issue, (b) the makeup of the programming team (c) the release and testing processes. Programmers make mistakes. It's not extreme sloppiness. It's not a view of attitudes towards specific sub-segments of humanity, in this case leaving specific groupings out of test cases, which was the thrust of the post I was reacting to. It's a mistake that has been rectified.
Pulling it out as evidence of something it's not based on a particular agenda or worldview is disingenuous. It says more about the person making the specious comparison than the underlying situation. That this was tweeted for likes and retweets is reprehensible in my opinion. It is asking people to draw a general conclusion from a decontextualised and unusual situation.
