You're probably right, but personally if I was in that situation I don't think I'd be able to go through the mental hoops required to forgive myself.
Every morning, I'd wake up and remember what I'd done. The pain would be unimaginable.

- tekromancr 12y agoThis is how I like to think that people who design software for weapons systems live.
- lmm 12y agoReally? I've written guidance code. A missile that doesn't go where you point it is a deadweight loss; while it might be best if they weren't fired at all, it's better they hit their intended targets than random (probably civilian) victims.
- tekromancr 12y agoAbsolutely, but If no one could reliably aim their bombs, would they fire them?
- lmm 12y agoProbably. The V2s couldn't hit a smaller target than "London", so that's where they fired them.
