While I know that these days, bugs in code can cause real-world harm (personal info leaks, superannuation records lost, lol google), I find it humorous to think of the equivalent, even worse outcomes in my discipline (chemical/process engineering).
"Didn't do any checks, fuck it, I know this calculation is fire 🔥"
Later: 🔥🔥💥
It’s more: I have routed a few pipes in our test system and it’s now spitting out water known to be contaminated but now should have some extra sprinkles in so it’s fine.
What I’m saying is it’s even worse than didn’t do any checks. It’s willfully ignoring existing checks intentionally.
