Quality standards are certainly required, and the software/technology ecosystem is brittle in avoidable ways. However, I'm not sure we can simply roll forward with methods we used to build bridges and use them to build software. I expect that we will see quality management going the other way. Deriving new and more capable ways of dealing with the complexity of modern technology stacks. Then those methods backpropagate to how we manage other complex systems. As we saw with the 737 MAX, in many cases the "engineer signing off" is merely a figurehead/scapegoat. Could one person realistically know the details of every system (to a detailed engineering level) in a modern airliner? Even if they could, is that the best approach? Our methods for durability are already overextended. Technology will be the area that makes us admit it, and provides the tools to manage it better.
