- vlunkr 5y agoSome people write software that saves (or can take) lives. Don't take one of those jobs if you're stressed about bugs in your web app.
- jghn 5y agoYes. Having worked on systems that have the ability to directly or indirectly have a profound impact on real people's lives, it can be a big deal. The hardest part in those jobs was always the newer folks who are used to a more standard release early & often, iterate on your bugs, etc model.
