What's hiring bar at Boeing? Is it C hires D? Your software bugs killed so many innocent people. How can you sleep at night? Are engineers incompetent or the leadership is forcing to cut corners? What's the guarantee that there are no other undiscovered bugs and Ds are competent to find them?

    I feel like designing a modern commercial aircraft is more complicated than your express app

  • It was not a software bug. MCAS was not documented properly and pilots were not trained about MCAS properly. Faulty sensor hardware does not mean software bug . Not everything is a software problem.

    Turning the trim wheel disengages MCAS. Pilots did not know that.

      This is funny. This is a classic argument when integrating software and hw. Sw blames HW and HW blames sw

  • Hiring bar for new grads is just a good gpa. But at the same time I'm pretty sure hiring bar doesn't translate into reliable software. Seriously still waiting for my Android, Google maps, google assistant, Google drive to not be glitchy af.

    To people comparing Boeing's software to mobile apps above, you need to understand that companies developing these mobile apps prioritize for development velocity instead of testing because a slight glitch in Amazon shopping app won't kill anyone.

    Boeing does not release new features every few weeks, and it is expected from them to thoroughly test their software and hardware before they sell their aircraft.
