As a physician and code slinger, I will say that I often worry about my patients, my servers, my partners, my code, my projects... Part of doing tough complex things is worrying if you are making the right decisions. If a patient dies inappropriately, that can be career ending. If my server crumbles or leaks private information, that too can be career ending.

While both could be career ending, a patient dying would probably make you feel a lot worse than a machine not doing what it should, right?

  In general, of course. But if you had a database of 1000s of people with STDs, how many lives might get destroyed if that got hacked?
