Not surprised Egg had no contingency plans

When I went for an interview there and I was talking about the need for contingency planning, importance of testing, well defined specifications etc. I could see from their faces I was saying the wrong thing as far as they were concerned - not coming over as young and trendy (as I wouldn't at 40+ and with more years IT industry experience than I care to remember).

So, I was totally unsurprised to find they have fallen to a classic single point of failure scenario.
