Thank you for writing this. It exactly aligns with my experience. When such a rant actually feels sensible and pragmatic, there must be something seriously wrong. I don't mean actual engineers wringing bug free code for a space telescope attitude control system. Seemingly they have it figured out - their code does not seem to fall down at a higher rate than bridges or office buildings. They have a method. But this method, whatever they implement, is surely too costly for us regular chumps, at least provided your employer, as you put it, has competitors.
