> commit to understanding ... how a failure in your duty as an engineer can actually kill people

I remember sitting in computational methods in uni while our professor was motivating the lesson on condition numbers, mentioning this is the kind of thing that can kill people, and students laughing at him.

Wish I could say that now that I've been in industry around a decade that the people around me have matured, but just as many still don't seem to care about quality.

Way too many people just chasing dollars and prestige with no appreciation for the power they wield.
