I’m not qualified in any sense to speculate, and so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
My first thought is that there is a configuration happening to bring it home which we already knew, and there is a bug or test tone that was activated and since no one writing the code is there, they just didn’t notice it is still running.
Ah the assumption that it was tested first before being deployed to prod. Given what we know now about Boeing’s “testing” and “certification” processes, or lack thereof, that may be a big assumption.
I try to always remember People, process and product. PPP. It helps remind me that the people are just like you and I, families and waking up each day to do a job. It’s so easy for things to fall apart when there aren’t the right tools or processes in place. My failures individually or as a team never left someone in outer space but I’ve had some doozies in my career.
This isn’t addressing your comment but I guess it was on my mind. I do know that the majority of people want to do their best and I feel bad for them and those affected by a company’s poor decisions.
On the flip side, there are some employees that also seem to just not take pride in what they are doing.
There’s a similar major issue with home building in the US, and has been getting a massive viral spike from TikTok and YouTube Shorts posted by Cy Porter in AZ. He just posts short clips showing what he finds on a daily basis doing new home build inspections. The obvious complete lack of care about the end product from the builders is honestly astounding.
That’s not building an airplane where hundreds of people’s lives are relying on your job, but just the bare minimums not being followed and the attitude when it’s called out reminded me a lot of how it seems Boeing responded to all these whistleblowers when they tried to follow internal processes for quality control.

I’m even less qualified and I suspect it’s aliens dropping the bass
All your base
Hah!

100% in most cases.
