My Core C++ 2025 is online - you're welcome to watch, enjoy, and let me know what you think.
Sometimes referred to as "the worst bug ever", this sloppy coincidence of blindly trusting legacy code, reckless type conversion and lacking of error handling mechanism, made the maiden flight of the Ariane-5 a disaster.

Severe bugs might be lethal.
One (or, in fact, two) horrifying example is the crash cases of two Boeing-737 due to bugs in the flying systems.
