Will you apply the same approach to make a bunch of mathematicians prove a theorem?
- kyllo 11y agoMost computer programming (in the private sector) is not research. It is product development. It is much more like designing and prototyping a physical product like an automobile, than it is like proving a theorem.

- gclaramunt 11y agoFWIW, it appears that the software development process in Toyota is pretty screwed, and the bugs that saw the light lately seems to confirm it
