I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
Well said, Diego. I'm always happy to come across another developer who's as passionate about software development professionalism as I am.
I don't think bank software would typically fall under the umbrella of safety-critical software. This link shows the typical kind of industries that I think of when I think of safety-critical software: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety-criti...
I would hope banks would be subject to strict regulations that force them to create quality software but this is not my area so I don't know what that would look like.
I sure hope the people writing software for my bank are engaging in vigorous QA practices such as code reviews, unit testing, and so forth and keeping my money safe.
Safety critical software have multiple layers of verification/ validation. Bank systems are not safety critical; they are security critical.
In safety critical systems, a failure can harm people ( railways, aerospace, medical devices)
A failure in security critical systems wouldn’t result in harm but rather loss/ exposure of information and assets.
The requirements to pass safety critical software standards and showing compliance with SIL ( I assume they are talking SIL4) is quite extensive.
I don’t think more professionalism is what they are lacking here.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Citibank just lost $900 million because of errors in processing an interest payment.
Close enough for mission critical software to me.
