If you can convince someone to go back to 1960's models and pay for software development where planning is literally measured in years for what gets done in a few months today, more power to you. I don't mean to be completely snarky, but that's the reality of it.. most software isn't a skyscraper, or even a medical device of vehicle.. most software is CRUD with some business rules thrown in. A given system goes down it's an inconvenience but nobody actually dies. You aren't going to hire a team of architects to design and review a dog house. And if you think the latter can't apply to physical things, look at some of the case reviews from Gamer's Nexus... many are literally unfit for their own duty. A recent NAS case review on a different channel showed it had to be Dremel modified in order to even work. Similar for the NAS case recently used by DeBauer. It actually happens plenty with physical goods. The comparison really bugs me. It does indeed bug me when there's a direct connection from the entertainment system in a car and the drive train, for example... that isn't abstracted away via physical device + api. Similar can be said for some decisions with Aerospace equipment. In the end, can you name the engineer that is never working again because the accelerator in some car models tended to get stuck? I can't.
