Computer programmers have ruined plenty of lives from the post office scandal to the gambling industry.
- chipdart 2y ago> Computer programmers have ruined plenty of lives from the post office scandal to the gambling industry. That's like saying the cleaning crew at the local police station have ruined plenty of lives due to police brutality.
- ffgjgf1 2y agoIt’s almost like blaming Glock for police shootings… It has nothing to do programmers and everything to do with Post Office’s management. If they bought buggy software they had years to seek recourse for that.
- smegger001 2y agoThe post office scandal wasn't the programers fault, the fault was on the post for prosecution of individuals for something that was the result of a known bug that they chose to try and cover up instead of getting it fixed. Its also the fault of the law makers for passing law that assumes the computer is always right unless the accused can show otherwise but not letting the accused have access to the program needed.
