All the things that you listed are uniform. Refrigerators use the same mechanical stuff to keep stuff cold using some kinds of equations that measure it all and it is the same every time - equations don't change. For airplanes, the airflow and lift equations will always be the same. Microwave ovens only microwave, it always heats the same. Basic carpentry tools for building have not changed for thousands of years. A hammer today is the same basic thing as a hammer 2000 years ago. However, software is different. It responds to real life changes in real time. Governmental regulations change, new types of taxes, new optimized ways of doing business develop, demand rises and falls, competitors try to outflank you and you have to meet the competition. You can't plan. You cannot foresee. You can look at trends and extrapolate but you never know for sure. But you for sure know what the number for gravity is, or Ohm's Law or all that other kinds of shit. For example, insurance. All 50 states have their own insurance rules and regulations and change them all the time. A national insurance company has to understand the rules of all 50 states and make changes to their software for 50 states. Plus actuarial tables change all the time. Are 30 year olds all of a sudden getting in a lot more accidents, statistically? why? Is in an anomoly or a trend, and what's causing it? Do we as a company need to raise rates on 30-year-olds? Wildfires with global warming - insurance companies will not insure now in wildfire areas. Same with hurricane areas - good luck with finding affordable insurance in F.orida for your home. This is just the very smallest not even scratching the surface of all the changes in insurance industry. And all industries are the same issues. Shit continuously changes in a business environment. What can you do??? How can you make software one time for that? It's impossible. Sofware is released earlier now because of a completely different competitive landscape. Back in the 1980s, and to some extent the 1990s, there was no competition, not like today. Not even close. Apple Computer in the 1980s was barely a blip compared to IBM or any other Fortune 500 company - it was laughably small. Now it is bigger revenue than most nations. And that is just one company. The industry is vast, vast, vast and people are always looking for niches, niches, niches. People always say if you want to start a business, find a niche...unfortunately, unlike the 1980s, everyone knows that, and there are hardcore competitors in every niche you can think of and a shitload that you can't think of. So, because there is so much competition, you have to come to market fast, otherwise someone else will eat your lunch. First to market is a thing, if you don't fuck it up by deliver utter shite. Secdurity fixes and updates are probably the most obvious. With the advent of internet as it is now is nowhere near like it was in the 1980s or 1990s. Trillions of dollars are being shot all over the internet. Corporate plans are kept on computers - competitors would love to see your plans. So cybercrime is an issue because of trillions of dollars at stake. So security updates must happen all the time. Social engineering training must be constant. You can't really change anything. It's like saying to change whether you eat or not. I suppose if there was some genetic engineering to clone us with photosynthesis from plants and it turned us green and we could get energy from the sun, that would make it change, but anything short of that, there's no change possible. What would I mandate if I was in a position to enact laws??? Really??? I would enact a law that said two supermodels have to be with me in bed every night with blow and snort it off their asses. Hookers and blow, hookers and blow. That's the standard joke, but I guess the real answer is to pass a law for people to be excellent to each other.
