You are probably already aware of this, but it is worth noting that categorisation needn't have hard boundaries, e.g. Lack of Privacy may not translate to lack of Security for everyone, but for example, a whistleblower, that can literally mean getting Boing'd

This is a really, really good news for the employer class. I remember some economists pushing FOR unemployment rate. It lowers the value of your labour.

Now what was the cause of the bug? Fat fingering human error during release.

There isn't a singular "the" cause usually, and if we do want to press for it, I'd say an aggressive deadline for a major product that needs engineers to slave away was the cause. At that point bugs become stastically inevitable. Whoever decided on that promised deadline was the first responsible person.

Maybe I'm just jaded and cynical but it won't "destroy the company" even if it comes out like that. The laws don't apply to people at the top

Indian government also used covid to supress a mass movement, proliferate a survaillence app with no data accountibility, push through laws in parliament, put Journalists in prison who exposed underreporting of deaths and mismanagement of hospitals....

This reminds me when a senior engineer asked me to write exception handling on a one-off python script, not a production code - just a script devs can use internally. The "handling" was that the program should exit when a file is not found. He wanted me to try the file open, except the file error, print "file not found" message and exit(1).

Guess what, genius. Python already does that for you. No need to write an extra wrapper needlessly.
