I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. The “move fast and break things” mentality works for the banal and unimportant, but not for the significant or important.
Who cares if a social media site is offline for a day? Society will be fine. Users will be fine. Is anyone really going to miss a random social media post lost due to misbehaving code? Probably not on balance.
But if you’re attempting to build a quality, say, EMR/EHR, or some kind of industrial control software, or a password manager, you have certain duties that are completely incompatible with that mentality.
