"All of these professionals have years of schooling and relevant work experience and have passed rigorous certification exams. [...] To start, coders who work on critical infrastructure should have a professional accreditation framework that issues licenses."

Uh, huh.

- tamalesfan 7y agoAnd yet the MIT imprimatur is slathered all over this... whatever it is. Since the Boeing fiasco is cited here a question occurs to me; how, exactly, would licensing the programmers involved in writing MCAS have empowered them to correct the culture of indifference to safety that has clearly compromised Boeing, given them the ability to override the questionable marketing strategy of trying to extend an ancient air frame with control system work-arounds, force management to reverse obviously stupid decisions regarding non-redundant angle of attack indicators on a model that pitches up by design and therefore requires work-arounds that rely on angle of attack indicators, cause Boeing to provide accurate operating manuals to pilots or make Boeing admit that training on legacy 737s was clearly inadequate for MAX models? I submit that it is self evident that licensing the programmers would have prevented none of these management failures. Not one.
