@tezoatlipoca@mas.to @dreid@wandering.shop > Kansas City Hyatt walkway collapse That one’s *wild*, in that pretty much anyone who passed Physics 101 can easily understand what went wrong, so it’s pretty much the civil engineering equivalent of receiving a PR where the only change is “add a couple hundred lines of internal company secrets”, the developer reviewing it says “LGTM”, and merges it immediately to main.

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to @dreid@wandering.shop Probably should also include SDI. I recall having a bunch of discussions on that in grad school in Irvine. There was a dude there who taught "high-level requirements" which bordered on ethics because it didn't just ask "how should we build it" but also "should we build it at all" which I still think is missing in a lot of curricula. (Not that it matters now that every single student seems to go through college on the back of some "AI" subscription.)
