Are you nitpicking that with the right achitecture and safeguards, unaccountable lines of code are perfectly harmless?

Because I think in most regular situations, code-without-adjectives, uncertain commits, or any number of things might be rightfully justified as a literal legal liability for business cases.

I get that you don't like how flat it is, but on a business website, in a world forecasted to be full of black box code, the statement is correct.

Code in a vacuum may not be a personal liability, but it is a professional one in 2026 where there's a gulf between slop and secure code
