> Consequence don't need to be dire Sometimes, consequences _do_ need to be dire. I had a boss once who used to calm everybody down when things were going badly saying "It's OK. Nobody is going to die." And he was right. We just build websites. No matter which customer was yelling on the phone like the world was ending, it was at worst a website outage. But some jobs, you can't say "Nobody is going to die." Canonically these are rocket science and brain surgery. But building airliners is 100% a job where if you don't do it right people are going to die. And airliners are more serious, brain surgery kills one patient when you make a mistake, rocket science kills a few astronauts. Faulty airliners kill hundreds of passengers at once. In my opinion, consequences for trading off even small increases in risk of death for hundreds of people at once just to meet financial targets _should_ be dire.
