Luckily we are not allowed to build houses like software bros on HN are allowed to build billion dollar companies. A shitty tech stack going down doesn't often burn down other companies. But a city full of balloon frames leads to an entire city burning to the ground.
If anything, the modern building code is a testament to why the way people on HN build software is at best irresponsible and at worst a threat to society.
