Not to be that guy, but I often say software engineering as a field should have harsher standards of quality and certainly liability for things like these. You know like civil engineers, electrical engineers and most people whose work could kill people if done wrongly.

Usually when I write this devs get all defensive and ask me what the worst thing is that could happen.. I don't know.. Could you guarantee it doesn't involve people dying?

Dear colleagues, software is great because one persons work multiplies. But it is also a damn fucking huge responsibility to ensure you are not inserting bullshit into the multiplication.
