If you had 9,000 engineers making 100k a year on average, they could each spend an hour every day on paranoid safeguard processes and only cost the company $308

Uhm, it's closer to $500k. Per day. So based on today's goof, which is presumably rare, with your batch of added paranoia they'd be still be out $150k for the day, and they'd be out $500k all of the days that there wasn't a colossal screwup.
- thorax 17y agoYou're 100% right. I picked a too outlandish number in my devil's advocating and back-of-the-napkin'd the engineering wrong. Sorry about that-- can't correct my comment anymore, unfortunately. You shoulda slammed me sooner. I can't see any rational reason to argue that way with those economics.
