The cool hipsters are never going to accept that reliability is more 
important than their own personal time. Hell, they refuse to even accept 
that their user's time is more important than their own. They'll never 
go for safety even if you cram it down their throats. Better to just 
drum them out of the industry. Or better yet, out of society as a whole.

But a repost of the article is a good idea :)
