"What matters is not to always be right, but how you correct errors."

In my opinion, heartbleed is a counterexample to your point. It's a case where making the mistake at all caused a lot of damage, no matter how quickly they patched it.




Well, it can be argued that this instance of mistake happened BECAUSE they didn't fix their review process the last time a silly bug managed to get in.


So there's enough blame and rage to go around. Any leader with a spine has to first contemplate "how did I fuck up?"
