Even in something boring as programming software for the british Post Office, a scandal that is STILL ongoing, you can mess up not just the software but other people's life if you act like a coward who doesn't own up to the software they write or manage. Gareth Jenkins has just been grilled in the Inquiry and in my eyes insane that courts did allow him as expert testimony on the very software he was working on and responsible for. In a case where the subpostmistress Seema Misra was wrongly jailed WHILE pregant! Other's weren't that luck and at least four committed suicide.
Adding to the stupidity of the scandal and continuous incompetence, just last month the Post Office accidentally published a document on its corporate website containing the names and addresses of 555 former sub-postmasters.
Courts have to level up quite a lot if they want to serve justice in cases where software is involved and those working on software need to be encourage to step back, let someone else assess the quality of the software and figure out bugs before courts can give a verdict.
