nope. doesn't apply. construction is public safety. software, most of the time, is not life and death.

  The comment was more of a joke. But the message behind it is something I do believe. Software at this point in time is kind of a joke. It's plagued by so many problems that people don't even blink anymore when there is software bug. The kind of attitude OP has is precisely the problem why the field is a joke.

  who gets to decide if the software is (or will evolve to be) a matter of life and death? - I hope not someone as careless as you for everyone's sake ..

        The sorts of comments you’re making here aren’t appropriate for Hacker News. Dang, a moderator, is rather vigilant about this sort of thing.

          You are right it was not appropriate and I apologise for my comment.

  Even if you can guarantee it isn’t life and death, edge cases also include URLs that contain ../../, users setting their username to ”NULL” or ”Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--”, hackers skipping client-side argument validity checks, etc.
