Judging from the rest of engineering disciplines, people figured out the right process that yields reliable results- we don't have too many civil engineering failures, exploding steam boilers or houses burning down because of overheating/arcing in the mains wiring anymore. Although the computer geeks are probably inclined to think: yes, but what we are dealing is more complex than that- I don't think there is a big difference between knowing how to safely connect two wires together, and how to safely copy one string to a buffer. Electricians took time to arrive at a consensus (but they did it), and I believe software engineers will too.
