I write/maintain software that allows surgeons to use surgery robots. Sure, there is a huge extended QA and testing processes that should in theory catch any possible bug in the software, not to mention tests done by surgeons and all that, but as I work I keep having this these thoughts inside the back of my mind of "what if a bug gets through and the robot tears someone apart from the inside, killing them horrifically"

I'm just imagining that gif of a robot arm trying to feed a french fry to a dummy head except its holding a scalpel instead of a french fry.

It's a possibility, but the extensive testing process means you're only partially responsible for any errors that make it into production. Realistically, you're probably more likely to kill somebody on your commute to/from work than as a consequence of the actual work you're doing.

That sounds like it's a qa/tester/bug hunter problem.

I wrote a significant part of the software for a major diabetes pump that's currently on the market that has had several recalls over the past few years. I no longer work at this company but since my departure the company's stock has multiplied by around 300%. I also know that this company has in the past chosen the cheapest materials on the market to produce their products with.

Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

I work from home so it would be a very interesting circumstance to kill someone during the commute
