Software has catastrophic bugs that make it more like house of card engineering than building engineering. But sure we can make NASA-grade programs, for NASA prices. Or actually we can’t, because there is an extremely limited supply of such scientists, who would also accept to work on a boring data entry app.
Software also suffers of untold expectations. Companies regularly spend as much time writing specs as developing the real software, and yet, imprecision still dominates the implementation.
