> "tearing people to pieces" is an appropriate response to an incident before the cause is even known.

Or after the cause is known. Unless maliciously done "tearing someone to pieces" is a strange way to deal with managements training failures, lack of procedures or similar.

Strongly disagree with this sentiment, the point of hiring a professional is that there’s not a manual or a rulebook for every situation they face. You need their creative problem solving skills and good judgement.

  • It's an incident response. That almost always means an error, normally in policy like code review or security. Sure, I expect programmers to be able to write code creatively without having their hands held. But incidents should be prevented with checklists, because that's the best practice to prevent them.
