Usually Google and FAANG outages in general are due to things that happen only at Google scale but this incident seems from a generic small/medium company with 30 engineers at most.

I've seen it happen at companies with 100s of engineers, some of them ex-FAANG, including ex-Googlers. The average FAANG engineer has a way more pedestrian work ethic than the FAANG engineers on HN want you to believe.
