I’ve seen devs deploy production software with the admin password being “password”. I don’t think you are listening when they are saying “they’ll build a better idiot”.

Right because nobody ever makes a mistake.

That's why we don't have seatbelts of safety harnesses or helmets or RCDs. There's always going to be an idiot that drives without a seatbelt so why bother at all right?

When you drive without a seatbelt, it only affects you.

If you drive in a way that affects the safety of others, there are generally consequences.
