DIMM techies kept in office to prove memory wasn't 'missing'
Briefly

The article details a story from a tech support professional named Harry, who worked for a large tech services firm. During a government project to modernize its technology, Harry encountered repeated server crashes attributed to insufficient memory. Upon investigation, he discovered that memory upgrades were not executed as promised. To address this, Harry created a script that automatically verified the installed RAM against project records, ultimately holding the contractors accountable for their work and unearthing ongoing discrepancies in server memory management.
The script provided a clear and concise way to verify the actual memory installed against what was reported, revealing discrepancies and leading to accountability.
After implementing the script, we consistently found discrepancies where memory was not installed, which put the contracting team under scrutiny and forced them to account for their work.
