Some people write software that saves (or can take) lives. Don't take one of those jobs if you're stressed about bugs in your web app.

Yes. Having worked on systems that have the ability to directly or indirectly have a profound impact on real people's lives, it can be a big deal. The hardest part in those jobs was always the newer folks who are used to a more standard release early & often, iterate on your bugs, etc model.

"Now, to be clear, if you ARE saving babies or working on software that does, for crying out loud, don't breathe and make sure you've got unit tests!"

I would hope that there are end-to-end 'did it save the baby' tests!
