No, this is BS and not how the real world works. If would be fine if you've left it as a meme. Developers (in corps) don't decide what they'll work on.

I read the first book and loved it. Same for the rest, found that they're not necessarily better and don't follow the same characters or even a timeline, so I never bothered.
I'm so looking forward to the last movie though. I don't know if I've liked any as much since the LotR movies.

Having read up on it quickly, the real issue was with a lack of tests and failure handling, so you're not wrong.
Apparently this code wasn't even necessary to run after liftoff, yet it caused the self-destruct.
Crazy.

I don't think recycling code is embarrassing? No-one can be expected to write a new codebase from scratch for every new product or machine. That would be worse than building on top of a solid foundation.

I'm genuinely interested in knowing whether a case like this would be picked up at all. In the UK, it appears there is no minimal amount od damage incurred, so in such case I'd really think it's possible. Db0 don't even need to be the ones to sue or report the incident according to what I could find.
