> I don't think we take software reliability seriously enough, most of our focus is on speed of release, ever quicker cycles and it being OK to break things. This culture ruined these peoples lives. Things must change. I disagree. The needed quality of your software changes dramatically depending on what it is used for. Something that helps someome semi-automate their workflow where bugs just mean they have to do things manually (as things that are wrong fail quickly and obviously) is something where what matters is speed of release and features. Something calculating how long people should be in prison needs to care about quality. Anyway, the courts are the ones that have the biggest share of the blame here. Believing an unreliable witness for the prosecution is a common cause of injustice.
