One thing is most of the people that worked on the gnarly parts of these large ships will have a decent engineering education behind them that teaches them the foundations.
This is missing in a lot of software developers nowadays, and we as an industry, don't really see the problem with this... I see people applying for jobs with 8 weeks education in a bootcamp and think they should get a job as a software developer... This is normal, and we are ok with this?
Rather than making our education faculties for computer students more rigorous it seems we are infantilising them.
Garbage in, garbage out. I don't see a path our industry getting better or more mature, if anything I reckon it's going to get way worse before it gets better.

Software engineering is constantly evolving, so pair up a junior with a senior who knows how to /think/, and go from there
- fennecfoxen 7y agoYou don't need a Rigorous Engineering Background™ to make a cute little website for every mom-and-pop business who needs something a little custom. You need to quickly assemble some off-the-shelf components that work well and probably won't collapse, because the alternative is that they cannot afford anything. The 8-week-bootcamp graduate is not going out and working for Boeing, MCAS memes notwithstanding.
