All of this is true, which is why effective policy interventions would punish bad outcomes, not prescribe methodology.
Make bad software expensive and software quality will eventually increase.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoBad software is already expensive. This is just poorly understood. It's simply not fair to non-specialists to expect them to have a working knowledge of how cost works in software.
- throwaway729 10y agoFines and vulnerability to class actions make the costs far more visible (and increase it besides). If non-specialists routinely make bad decisions because they don't understand how cost works, then the solution is to make the cost of bad software dead obvious.
