- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoThank you. I live in the Medical Device software domain. It gets tiring really fast when people keep proclaiming that software development can't be engineering. It certainly can; it's just that most organizations don't want to implement the discipline required. You want very low bug counts, predictable software schedules and the ability to go home at 5 every night? Then implement a process to build what you need built, actually follow the process, track progress constantly and adjust when it starts going off the rails. Expensive and time consuming and requires buy-in from all levels of the organization? Yes, but TANSTAAFL.
- garyrichardson 16y agoThere are far more coders working for companies where no one dies if they code has defects. The article argues that most programmers are not engineers. At least I draw that conclusion.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoIt seems to argue that everyone is not an engineer.
