Architecture & Responsible Technology
summary
Compares low-stakes vs life‑critical systems with concrete examples: a Central London sandwich app needs no five‑nines while rapidFTR family tracing for UNICEF requires offline resilience and tight data protection; an NGO pipe project in Uganda unintentionally removed women’s social time. Argues for measurable practices—fitness functions, observability, testing and continuous delivery—plus auditing datasets (example: asthma cases excluded from ICU training data) and diversity; claims smaller pacemaker design could double market and cites execs valuing compliance as a primary driver.
