engineers at spacex are unlikely to go to jail because one of their designs blew up, but most engineers who design bridges or buildings dont have that luxury.

Move fast, break things, pay for it with someone's life, lose your professional accreditation and maybe your freedom.

Maybe they're playing similar but different games rather than playing the same game differently.

As the article says: "bridges and buildings" engineering isn't even representative of all of civil engineering, let alone the entirety of the engineering profession. Also, not all engineers are even professionally accredited.

I'd wager that the vast majority of engineers would not go to jail if their design failed.
