I've worked on financial platforms for most of my career. It's a strange feeling to know that a mistake will delete someone else's money. I always thought I had it hard. But that the end of the day, it's not "real". Certainly not life-critical. Working on something like this has got to be on a whole other level.

It can absolutely be life-critical, for people living paycheck to paycheck.
