I am so excited for the SV move fast and break things philosophy applied to commercial aircraft. Control software via javascript, make lots of it out of lithium for the ecological branding, don't bother with pilots. Going to be very exciting.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI'm actually saying the opposite. I'm saying instead of that (boom, etc) we should just make another commercial airplane company that makes regular planes, safely, in a normal way. You and I are agreeing...
- JonChesterfield 3y agoYeah, I'm poking fun at the modern US engineering model. Actually fixing the problem is much harder. It probably goes something like aggressively fire everyone at Boeing who looks vaguely associated with management and reconstitute it as a division of some company that seems to know how to build things that work.
- iancmceachern 3y agoTotally, or do the skunkworks or Manhattan project model where you find some key champions that are technical experts and leaders and have them hand pick teams of people to go work in a different division in a different building only answering to those champions.
