> Being an SRE at a FAANG and generally spending a lot of my life dealing with reliability, I am consistently in awe of the aviation industry. I can only hope (and do my small contribution) that the software/tech industry can one day be an equal in this regard.

There's a slight difference in terms of what kind of damage an airplane malfunctioning causes compared to a button on an e-commerce shop rendering improperly for one of the browsers. My point is that the level of investment in reliability and process should be proportional to the potential damage of any incidents.
