Regulated industries should produce high quality output, agree. But the moment that approach leaks into the rest of software I’m out for good, and I imagine many others along with me. The “real” and certified™ big boys can take over all the work for all I care, but there’d be substantially less output across the industry. (Some backwards people would call that a win)
Note that I specifically left a much more regulated industry to be in software. Also note that I care about correctness and quality a lot still, it’s one of my favourite CS subtopics (memory safety, business logic in the type system, (fuzz, property, unit, integration, e2e) testing, …).
