@makdaam@chaos.social if a client is making a would-be-Therac-25, i see it as a duty and obligation to tell them that they are doing that, and impede them from proceeding without fixing the issues with their project. which nearly every time boils down to getting them to realize that medical devices should be taken seriously, and not approached with a "move fast and break things" tech-startup attitude. which is sometimes futile, but then at least we said "no, we will not make this for you".
