"We should just let it fail/break/go bang/explode/..." is something a lot of projects in the IT "space" would desperately need.

Unfortunately, this happens all to seldom, due to a unusually high concentration of people "with a very strong sense of duty" in the IT community.

The weird sense of duty really good sysadmins have can border on the sociopathic, but it's nice to know that it stands between the forces of darkness and your cat blog's servers.
