No, it really isn't. The worst thing that can happen in programming is my application throwing an error (assuming PHP/Python or similar). That's really nothing compared to when I'm driving a heap of metal at high speeds around the streets together with other people doing the same.

- zo1 11y agoDiscounting the fact that some programs execute within the "heaps of metal" you speak of. There are also programs and solutions out there that affect millions of individuals, and could absolutely have far-reaching consequences in a "worst case" scenario. E.g. The recent citizen information leaks.
