Most software teams don’t realize the power they have over our everyday lives. With the proliferation of smart technology and connected networks, when product teams miss seemingly little software bugs, the consequences can be astounding.
Where does the software industry start to draw the line between innocent oversight and criminal negligence? Will a licensing scheme similar to the law and medical industries help to hold people accountable?
This week Derek and Jeremy interview the esteemed Gojko Adzic. They talk about some examples of software gone wrong and offer some insights on how to address these issues.
Gojko is the author of Running Serverless, Impact Mapping, Specification by Example and a few more books… He’s now working on Narakeet – narakeet.com and MindMup – mindmup.com.
