We don’t have that in software engineering. And outside of critical software we don’t need it. When the audio fucks up in Teams and you have to leave and re-enter the meeting, people don’t die.

I had a co-worker who was writing remote control software for a baseball-throwing machine. Not exactly "critical software" but he ended up firing a 125 mph knuckleball a foot above a 10-year-old kid's head.
