You were mentioning elevators crashing in the first place. But anyway elevators are quite frequently out of order, and I don't know how often it's a software vs mechanical vs administrative (ie "security check") problem. I just know that, in all instances of elevator crashes I know of, the problem was a mechanical one, not a software one. > ...which is not to say that it can't be fixed. My contention is that software engineering is possible, it just isn't fun or easy for inexperienced coders to do, and therefore not valued by the current software industry. It's not that it's not fun, but it's incredibly expensive, and usually not worth the cost.
