The author tells a familiar story of how we got here, but I think misses nuance on what the problem is. It's not the fact that software is used: it works fine normally, but the failure modes were insufficiently considered. > An aircraft has to be stall proof not stall prone. The F-117 begs to disagree.

Most combat jets "disagree". Most combat jets also have ejection seats for all occupants...

  It's not completely fair of me to compare civil jets to combat ones, but in any case I'd argue that ejection seats are perhaps more useful for the other scenarios combat planes find themselves in.

    Most ejections take place due to loss of control, not combat.
