> Things definitely go wrong but no one says it is just the way things are. If changes are made there shall be new drawings. > then about how structured everything was and eventually about the building being finished while they still had countless bugs There is a famous story of the Hyatt Walkway Collapse where a change was made, was improperly documented, and caused a production bug that led to many deaths. Extreme example but production bugs in physical construction are extremely common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse edit: Here's a whole paper looking into the effects of design errors in construction projects. This implies they're common enough to study. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330701193_EFFECTS_OF_DESIGN_ERRORS_ON_CONSTRUCTION_PROJECTS https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330701193_EFFECTS_O... And here's some research that showed 10% to 25% of cost in construction goes towards fixing errors. https://getitright.uk.com/reports/call-to-action https://getitright.uk.com/reports/call-to-action

Construction has a much more mature building process, much of that is probably related to the cost of replacing things. We even get to cut and paste :) That last document seems like something that could be done in software development. Their list (starting with the worse) is dominated by mistakes pouring concrete. - Inadequate planning (from task through to project level) - Late design changes - Poorly communicated design information - Poor culture in relation to quality - Poorly coordinated and incorrect design information - Inadequate attention paid in the design to construction - Excessive commercial (financial and time) pressures - Poor interface management and design - Ineffective communication between team members - Inadequate supervisory skills For software we would have to gather the data similarly. Then you put it all into an LLM along with the employees previous assignments and code, pull the lever and the answers come out. Ah, yes. The aim should be to have pure information so that insurance companies can pick up the bill. In order to accomplish that the system should prevent the employer from meddling in the process. Working from home seems required to properly benchmark the employees.
