> These rules and tools go in to fix a hurt caused by making mistakes, and somewhere it gets twisted away from "not making the same dumb mistakes repeatedly" to "never make any mistakes" (except for the chiefest of mistakes for a capitalist venture: never shipping).

tools cant really prevent mistakes anyways, because people will always find a way to "get the job done anyway" by working around them... the end result in many cases is actually... more mistakes!

at some point you have to hire people you can trust, no tool or process can fix that!
