   @xgranade @ireneista @trochee imagine if slapping a Eula at the start of a bridge meant that no one could be at fault if it collapses

     @ireneista @trochee I can't think of any other form of engineering where it's ok to develop something, hope that it works without any specific theory as to ensure that it does, run a few tests, and call it good.

     If software engineering was actually a form of engineering, we wouldn't have unit and integration tests, we'd have fucking safety proofs attached to everything that interacts with humans.
