>We're a clown industry. We only made it this far because, usually, buggy code doesn't kill people
Another industry does even better: the medical/health industry. It's both a clown industry AND kills people AND they have made it way beyond what software can only dream.
The big fun factor is the place in the Venn diagram where they both intersect. I used to work for a medical device manufacturer who's biggest and most popular product routinely had stack traces at inopportune times.
