@vitaut@mastodon.social @JSAMcFarlane@mastodon.ie @meetingcpp@mastodon.online You can tell that again to our customers. Quite recently, in a machine for a steel mill, the developer on the customer team dared to complain about my rigorous input sanitation of their data telegrams, sorting out nonsensical data and showing alerts to the operators about the findings and missed specifications, with words like: "we have so many special cases that we find and read from our databases. Hence we can't test them all and guarantee correct data for our machine operation before we enter life production stage". No further comments from our side...
