Did the amount of time spent on code formatting incur an opportunity cost for more impactful engineering safety investments?


the issues are pretty well documented and are all human failures.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disas...

the challenger disaster is noteworthy as a tragic incident because many individuals tried to stop the launch knowing this (ahem, hardware) issue was present. to many people, it was not a surprise when it happened.


Given that the engineering safety folks are more than likely not the ones writing the code, I doubt it.


Probably not.
