You’re (sadly) assuming everyone would verify its correctness. Proper programming would mean one would write tests, but not everyone does. I’m guilty of it too.

When banks got ATMs, they thought it'd drastically cut headcount - instead it went _up_: freeing up time from doing the basics meant you had more time to focus on more profitable activities

I hope to live long enough to be mostly writing tests for a gloriously hacky code generator that gets it right 80% of the time
