Except that this isn't really a story about poorly written software; it's a story about corrupt management. Further, if we look at Boeing's recent issues with the 737Max, it's the same thing. In both of these cases, the bad software was almost certainly ordered to be written by management acting fraudulently for profit. The one error that has been discussed in the article was a stupid mistake, quite possibly due to the logic conditions being made overly complicated in order to enable the fraud, but the recurrent theme of all of the real underlying issues found was intentional design malfeasance, not incompetence.
