the point you're missing here is that "we build processes that incorporate human error as a given, or they collapse, much like how we build literal buildings knowing full well we are subject to the laws of gravity" your point of "ah, but isn't it always human error!" is missing how human error is used to excuse systematic failures of risk management—the load bearing word here is "blaming" your processes should account for "an intern pressed the wrong key because their manager threatened to fire them" that's why we have things like building codes, building inspections, certified professionals involved, rather than simply being "someone forgot a brick lol, never mind @michaelgemar @tef @mawhrin The lens of human error stalls investigations and prevents learning. @michaelgemar @tef there's a reason the process looks like this and it's not because people don't know the risks of such deployments. safe software engineering practices are not cost-effective.
