Comforting thought of the day: none of the software industry’s popular success metrics would catch a Boeing 737 Max style failure—catastrophic failure a year after delivery. So, you can literally murder scores of people with a software defect and still get that bonus at work for a successful project
That’s a less comforting thought if you’re a software user, admittedly
Related thought, what would the precautionary principle look like if genuinely applied to the software industry? Or, to software-reliant electronics (i.e. “smart” products)?
@baldur From the page: "Critics argue that it is [...] an obstacle to progress."
Well yeah, that would seem to be the point...
