> For example, under what constraint regime should the calculator app bundled with an OS be written? It's just a little bundled toy app. Until someone under pressure uses it to calculate a medicine dose, expecting it to be a calculator like it says.

This captures a sentiment I have often felt when people don't take bugs seriously. Or don't take it seriously that they introduced regressions. You should feel personal responsibility for your bugs. When your shit doesn't work, and people are trying to use it, you are basically hurting them, personally.

But it seems with the increase of AI coding, the industry is going the other direction. Nobody seems to care about bugs introduced by slop coding. Except perhaps the users.
