About
IT Horror Stories with Jack Smith tells real stories from the world of IT: outages, failed migrations, broken infrastructure, cybersecurity incidents, software failures, networking disasters, cloud problems, Shadow IT, and the occasional decision that seemed like a good idea at the time. Jack Smith talks with the people who were there about what happened, how they got out of it, and what others can learn from the incident. Stories are anonymized where needed, and the focus is on technology, processes, and organizations rather than blaming individuals. New episodes weekly, with Jack's Rants in between. You are one of us.
