> I really don’t want to have the government locking people up for being well-paid fuck-ups.
If you go to a doctor and he fucks up: he (or his insurer) has to pay you. If he really fucks up, he ceases to be able to practice medicine.
The same with nurses, lawyers, accountants, architects and other professionals.
Software's much better—then they point to the "we take no liability for any errors" clause in the contract and everyone carries on as if nothing ever happened.
afaik if a doctor fucks up his rights to practice medicine are taken away by a board of (probably) doctors after a examination of the case.
Although this sounds all well and good, I've read countless accounts of this not happening as much as it should be happening, almost similar to the police not taking action on their own officials who go bad, corruption runs deep in our systems and imo our psyche
I think a top down approach to enforce anything at scale is never gonna work until people decide to respect their place in the world and do the due diligence from bottom up
