If 200 people died after a db instance crashed, software would be equal in that regard.

To prove this, software that deals with medical stuff is somewhat more like aviation.

Likewise, in "aviation" when the entertainment system completely fails in a 4 hour flight, there is most like no post mortem at all. They turn it off/on again just like most of us.

  • This is true in a lot of industries. Unless there’s 7+ figure costs or significant human losses, there’s usually not an exhaustive investigation to conclusively point to the exact cause and chain of events.

Some people who think this is ideal for any sort of software tech sound they would also want a 3 hour post mortem with whoever designed the rooms, after slightly stubbing a toe.
