Gregory's Server@lienrag @gregeganSF I would be terrified to work on a software where a bug could land me in prison. But I *should* be terrified! This is a system where a bug has landed 230 people in prison. If the system carries such a high risk for its users, it has to carry a real risk for the creators too.
If I worked on a system where a bug could land me in prison, I would be extremely careful and implement a crazy amount of safeguards. Which sounds like what we want of such a system, right?
@darabos
Again, the bug landed nobody in prison.
Authoritarian and incompetent managers sent people to prison.
All the bug did was flag the people. It's the managers who chose to sent flagged people to prison without due process.
This distinction is fundamental, and not making this distinction forbids to address the real problem.
