@what no thankyou, I needed reminding that I'm not here to entertain people! I'm here to have a time with my friends!

Part of why I want to get into software verification is that I think software SHOULD be verified and proven it's safe! Too much stuff is released with incredibly dangerous bugs!

@beadsland @LottieVixen that's why I say I'm a programmer, rather than software engineer: even though a lot of programming stuff *should* be done with regulations and liability, it's often not!
