So it goes on.
These guys worry me.
I wonder if any of them has ever written a line of code.
Do any of them understand how easily a misplaced colon can bring down a system ... and the
aircraft it embeds.
When will they understand that the only way to certify a complex system is to have skilled
professionals embedded in its development from start to finish. Professionals whos only love is
for the technology . Professionals unimbued with the idolatry of shareholder value.
Until that time I take solace in stoic philosophy.
all men are made one for another: either then teach them better or bear with them.
