Tough to imagine Boeing being anything other than a basket of legacy crap with some super interesting innovations in spite of everything.
It feels like another one of those systems that’s destined to languish, like a lot of other highly regulated industries these days. Like, I would never take a job at a medium to large size bank these days because now it’s really about how old version of Java I would have to deal with by doing so.

- apelapan 4y agoBoeing buys a lot of smaller technology companies/products and folds them into various subsidiaries (like Jeppesen). This brings a constant source of innovation to the enterprise, and means there are lots of interesting things going on in the broader enterprise. The Jeppesen brand consists of a whole bunch of cool legacy companies and semi-transplanted subsets of various sibling subsidiaries: SBS, Carmen, Tapestry, Enplore etc, etc. Loads of stuff in addition to the more publicly famous chart business.
