In theory, with unlimited resources and fully automated systems, there should be no infrastructure problems to firefight. But probably even with limited resources we shouldn't need to firefight so much if it was engineered correctly. I think about cars and planes, and wonder what life would be like if we needed a team of engineers sitting on the wing of a plane to keep it in the sky when the pilot moves the flaps.

> what life would be like if we needed a team of engineers sitting on the wing of a plane to keep it in the sky It's the world we'd be in if new planes were in such high demand that the number of startups building them totally outstripped the supply of aeronautical engineers, to the point that most new designs only had ~5 man-years of effort invested in them on release, rather than the thousands they get today. Software is really a different world, economically.
