It’s all well and good to write dramatic meaningless comments on social networks like Hacker News, but if your desired had actual consequence, can you honestly say that “nuking the company” is a net positive?
And you know laws are supposed to keep feeling like you're living in a fair world right?
So, nuke the company That cause billions Of dollars in losses, millions of hours of wasted human time, potentially loss of life though we haven't you know had a study yet that identifies those people who lost their lives because of disruption to healthcare services, heart attacks that were due to stress, etc etc. Nuke them. Nuke that corporate person. Force the humans who comprise that corporation to rebuild it as a better corporation.
Yes of course it would be positive. On the short term, remove one incompetent high-risk company from the industry.
But more importantly long term, it would do a lot to encourage quality in the industry if it was known that such an outcome is possible.
Using regexp (edit: in the kernel). (Wtf. It's a bloody language.) And not sanitizing the usage. Then using it differently than testing. And boom.
There's people, and there's companies.
This company ought to be nuked.
