See that kidult with the Cheetos ring around his mouth and the 'No War' sticker? He just programmed the Automated Fault Manager for the next generation of passenger jets.

Doubtful.

Even if Boeing or Airbus, or associated contractors hired such an individual, I doubt that very many dangerous faults could make it through a comprehensive acceptance test and QA at Boeing. I recently attended a tour with other future 777 pilots at Boeing's Everett facility. I think their software is very sound.

Perhaps not on the passenger side, but on the Defense side, they don't give a f***... This is first hand. I should have specified 'defense'. I agree with you more on the passenger side... It's awful, just shameful.

I just heard today: "Why slow the coders down with safety and analysis, we can catch all that in testing!" OBTW, we are only going to test good day, go path scenarios... Besides, testing is 3 times more expensive and if they screw the pooch the first time, the gov punishes them with more time and money.

Not on the defense side. No lawsuits, ya know...
