The Federation has all the best practices:
Single points of failure everywhere
weak security controls
poor scalability on computer systems
seemingly no thought of safety when designing things
centralization of all critical functions
O'Brian has a rant from DS9 about the backups having backups on federation ships.
There is a episode of Star Trek Voyager where some space pirates steal the main computer.
The concept of entire space stations and starships ships being dependent on a single main computer is pretty common across the whole franchise. It seems like a pretty big problem to have a central point of failure that massive.
Ok fair but the main computer is massive so I guess it balances out?
I'm going to have to find that episode, I remember some talk about spares in that one too.
And yet they all fail.
Don't forget the rocks built into every console
And the fact that the consoles violently explode when something on the outside of the ship nowhere near the bridge is hit.
I hate it when someone knocks too hard on my front door, causing my bathroom light switch to burst into flame.
The importance of having a whitelist instead of a blacklist.
