If you get your testers involved early enough, they can be the primary tool for ensuring that your users get what they want. Someone else to blame?

I thought the users were the new testers... (or even the actual product)

A lot of this is due to the complexity of modern software and the economic constraints on it too.

The biggest complexity is to keep things simple, and that is not a problem of complexity itself.
A thing can do incredible complicated things in the background and still have a neat, simple and easy way to be used (not only speaking about the GUI)

I was apart of that program. I worked in the lab at Boeing during the design phase and them moved to the Life Sciences testing Center where we developed the life support systems and tested the Russian systems as well. I actually got to test the welds on the first module. Our LIMS system was in Windows 3.1. 
Those were good times.

At the same time, copying and pasting code examples from Stack Overflow looks significantly less risky than asking Copilot for guidance. In a 2019 paper [PDF], "An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples," analysis of 72,483 C++ code snippets reused in at least one GitHub project found only 99 vulnerable examples representing 31 different types of vulnerabilities.

And that's compared against C++, where I'd expect to see more bad practices sticking around in sample code.

even more so if you hit your friend in the knee with the calculus book.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Unless, of course, that lake is in Jellystone park, then you're SOL.
