@m1ke @maccath @derickr Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this. It’s incredible! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

@ramsey @m1ke @maccath Yeah. I have read some of the technical report, and some of these bugs are just silly. Like not dealing with idempotency in a distributed sync. But the real scandal are the cover-ups, and denial from senior Post Office staff and leadership. Fujitsu is also not getting the penalties it deserves.
@derickr @ramsey @m1ke @maccath Ethics should be a compulsory part of any #softwareengineering #computerscience degree, is a hill I will happily die on. These weren’t kids off a bootcamp, these were senior BCS type engineers, who were happy to see their users jailed to save their blushes. There are no polite words to adequately describe these people.
