| Feb 26, 2009 at 14:22 | comment | added | Dave | I guess the difference is that you can experiment directly with programming without worrying about death or lawsuit... I would hope that no "experimental" code would go into "production" in life-or-death situations ;) | |

It may be a rare exception, but there definitely are areas (and increasingly not just in medicine) where a software error can kill people. And getting sued is not that unlikely at all if you do it professionally. | |
