Eli Lilly’s mistake not only cost it some settlement money up front but as I understand it helped push the U.S. pharma industry into a very expensive regulatory regime that now impacts every server they build and every software update they roll out. The process requirements are quite onerous.
(I had worked closely with the teams involved but left about a year before the mistake. When I heard about it I spent a few hours racking my brain to make sure I hadn’t left behind some tool they might have used.)
