I’m trying to convince a group of devs that catching (and ignoring) every exception is not actually a solution to their crash bugs.

Ya know.. you can also just do that and then change the requirements:

> In a revision to the Flight Crew Operations Manual, issued on January 15, 2024, Boeing confirmed that the door functioned as designed.

Problem solved for the current level in the hierarchy.

The same group I’m talking about did exactly that: they got an exemption for any security issues from the CISO.

Literally turning a blind eye, but officially, so that’s okay!
