> I’m trying [...] to save life and property from severe events at scale

Tell me you work in Silicon Valley without telling me you work in silicon Valley.

Sorry but I couldn't resist. There is something in US startup mentality where you can't just "create an app and make a living", you have to be on a grand mission to save the world. That may be normal out there, but for the rest of the world it just seems... Get back to earth man :-)

Sure, most of us are doing nothing to help people and are using grandiose language to describe reticulating splines. I don’t think that applies to good weather apps though, a lot of people do die because they are unaware of weather events. I would be very unsurprised to learn that any major weather app has directly saved lives. The U.S is a very… weatherful place.

People do die due to weather events. But attributing their death to bad weather apps is pretty wild.
