what do you expect to be different from your run-of-the-mill maintenance of outdated industrial automation gig?
- ggm 7y agobit flips from surplus neutrons? TMR? Batshit crazy lack of process checks on 'what does this button do' war stories. actually, I encourage anyone in coding to share run-of-the-mill maintenance of outdated industrial automation, as a gig. I'd read that blog.
- YeGoblynQueenne 7y agoAt a guess, an increased probability of causing a criticality accident as a result of getting a program slightly wrong.
- exDM69 7y agoI'm assuming the "reading assembly" part is verifying compiler output matches what the programmer thinks and signing it off as a "blessed binary". Some safety critical areas of software are done this way, in aerospace for example. But run-of-the-mill automation jobs aren't.
