Software bugs happen. The trick is to have proper management of the release that takes into account the inevitability of bugs while incentivizing bugs to be identified and fixed without the stakeholders of the project being in a position to have to defend a project as if it is perfect.

I cannot imagine how it must have felt being under the boot of an entire government and it’s corporate partners due to a bug. This is why we are important. A poorly managed IT system with bad incentives puts lives in danger. It is a literal threat to the safety of society. This cannot be stressed enough.
