Ah, yes, the Therac-25 incident... because who doesn't enjoy a quick jaunt down memory lane to when a software bug was (literally) a killer feature? 💀🖥️ It's like the article took a wrong turn into a time machine and forgot to get out, leaving us with a listicle more scrambled than an amateur coder's first Python script. 🙄⌨️

Fun is:
Nerd talking about Therac-25 with the radiologist while she's taking my images. She even let me look at the software's UI 😁

From the looks of it, the #NATS meltdown and the development style of Austrian software company #Frequentis will provide an excellent example for programming teachers for years. It might even surpass #ariane5 floating point, NASA's #MarsClimateOrbiter's meter vs feet parachute and #Therac25
