That is a lot of bile even for a rant. Agreed that it's nonsensical to blame the dev though. This is software, human error should not be enough to cause such massive damage. Real question is: what's wrong with the test suites? Did someone consciously decided the team would skimp on them?
As for blame, if we take the word of Crowdstrike's CEO then there is no individual negligence nor malice involved. Therefore this it is the company's responsibility as a whole, plain and simple.
The governance of the company as a whole is the CEO's responsibility. Thus a company-wide failure is 100% the CEO's fault.
If the CEO does not resign over this, the governance of the company will not change significantly, and it will happen again.
