Courageous Computing

The vast majority of experts in information technology are in agreement that it is not feasible to guarantee the accuracy of any system that is even somewhat complicated to one hundred percent. IT employees are sometimes required to make challenging decisions, such as assessing whether or not software can be sent immediately or needs more testing. When it comes to putting out software, an IT professional who is practicing bold and virtuous computing will not do it thoughtlessly or irresponsibly. However, a bold IT worker also avoids being feared, which prevents them from releasing potentially valuable software due to an illogical worry that flaws may be hiding somewhere in the system. In order for the potential benefits of information technology to be realized, IT workers need to act bravely and avoid the risks associated with being cowardly or reckless.
