“In many societies, whenever a new building is constructed, it was thought only prudent to pacify the local deities by burying children beneath the foundations (this is how faith sometimes operates in a world without structural engineers).” - Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation
I came across this bit and thought about software. I’d be lying if I said I’d never put out anything and looked for random signs that things were going to be ok. Odds are, you’ve done it too. If only I’d had a few children (not my own, obviously) to bury beneath the servers!
