Maybe this engineer is just saying, like all big projects, there are mistakes, and there should be more vetting, debugging. It was rushed, so yes, there are mistakes, but not, "generally, all my stuff is bug ridden crap"
- mdhb 1y agoBut in this case it WAS all bug ridden crap. Casually rolling the dice with people’s lives like this means you probably won’t be able to live without some fear of people coming looking for you when this is all said and over. Maybe they don’t realise it yet but their lives have just changed for the worse in a very significant and hard to reverse way. This is going to catch up with them on a reasonable timescale.
- sumeno 1y agoThis isn't your typical SV startup. Move fast and break things works for garbage like Juicero or Uber for Dogs or whatever silly idea gets VC funding this week, it does not work when you're talking about the lives of millions of people
- FrustratedMonky 1y agoI was making a comment on software projects, not a political statement. Thanks for the downvotes. Of course the situation is awful, but not every programmer gets to cherry pick the picture perfect project to work on. The job market is difficult right now, so who wouldn't take this one? That's the more insidious message from capitalism, there are a lot of cogs in the machine that are fully aware they are cogs, but you still have to eat, so you keep doing cog like things.
