@benj_fry well, let's say there's an personal and a professional part on the answer. Personal : people don't behave all the same in front of risk & mitigation solutions. I don't know if it's cultural, taught, or existential. For ex: I always preferred typed lang, they prevent so many 1/n
@benj_fry 2/n of my errors. Coincidentally my first lang was OCaml, and C seemed to be an horror show when I learned it latter. Other people still don't fill at risk after several years of php...
2: professionally: we, as an industry, must grow up and start learning lessons.

@benj_fry 3/n people die b/c of our amateurism as a profession. Any serious industry (think agriculture, space, pharma, buildings, flights...) has norm and rules, long post mortem from which decision are made to avoid errors. These decisions are documented and newbies just follow them
@benj_fry 4/4 if a newbie doesn't follow a rule that was edicted ("it's not fun, and look how shiny that lib is"), he just got fired (and perhaps incriminated for that). He can learn the reasons from doc, or just accept them. People can die.
Let say we are a long way away from that
