Do more than pray!

“… a computer glitch slowed the registration to a crawl while hundreds of people waited outside…”
We have no idea what the potential impact of our products are going to be. What caused the glitch that held up the evacuation of New Orleans? It could have been a problem in the registration application or the networking software. It might have been a faulty network cable or an improperly setup network switch. Perhaps it was a faulty motherboard. Lack of proper training is another potential cause. It could have been any combination of problems cause by a lack of quality work along the line from manufacturing to data entry.
The message is clear. We must take care in all of our work. Just imagine your product being used in a worst case scenario and put the care into it that your loved ones deserve. Its the ethical thing to do.
Meanwhile let’s all pray for New Orleans and the people of the Gulf Coast.
