When you realize your code has caused grave injury to someone, physically, cost their life, ruined them financially or ruined a relationship.
Everyone pays attention to plane or space craft crash. But bad software in cars, air bags, trains, medical equipment have cost lives. Bad software at financial institution have occasionally ruined people financially. Bad social media software have ruined relationships. Bad localhost software that has crashed and taken data could ruin people in ways many people can't imagine.
Someone out there is using something as simple as a text editor to write their favorite book or keep track of their finances and run their businesses. if the editor screws up their data, you can't imagine the hardship.
You never know how your users will use your software, don't take it for granted.
