We are armchair engineering the issue on hn, can there be “credible” journalism on this? I feel for the engineers involved, I assume they all had good intentions and did their best. This seems like one of those things we’d read about in 2030 where some clever engineering and software allowed Boeing to fend off the rivals for a fraction of the cost, or likewise it took them to the brink of survival. As startup and entrepreneur people, we live this stuff daily with smaller stakes, I can’t help but sort of admire their attempt.

The amount of armchair engineering going on here on HN about this particular issue has been disappointing, but educational. I've seen a couple of very good technical write-ups about what's really going on with MCAS, and by my guesstimate probably 90% or more of what is said on HN about this issue is factually incorrect right from the start.
