Let me tell one thing: I absolutely hate sloppy engineering. And by sloppy I also mean rushing. There is a class of engineers and engineering managers who think that they are rockstars because they can churn out code quickly. I am absolutely disgusted and sick of this attitude. And why do I bring it up here? Because I suspect this kind of attitude was partly blamed for this fatal and tragic accident. Of course this is pure speculation. But my 12 years experience in the software industry makes me believe that's what happened. Also a relevant talk by Uncle Bob: https://youtu.be/ecIWPzGEbFc https://youtu.be/ecIWPzGEbFc

>I absolutely hate sloppy engineering. >Of course this is pure speculation Cool ideas, people have already figured out this was designed into the system. Sure more testing can catch things, but how much money are you allowed to spend on every single feature? There isn't a 'right' answer to these questions, engineers are literally doing cutting edge, never before jobs. Everyone wants more time, more money, and better suppliers. You need a call to action, not just a youtube video talking about groups not being responsible.
