You realize that you'd need someone at MS to take liability for Windows before you can sign off anything running on Windows?
Or someone at Google if you do a web app that only runs on Chrome, not to mention other browsers.
- Devasta 2y agoWell yeah, but the fact that no one takes responsibility for anything and just smears layers of crap on top of each other is the problem. We have build enormous houses of cards on foundations of quicksand and its causing very real harm, but no one cares because the only thing they'll face consequences for is drops in story points on their sprint or whatever else and nothing for failing to do things that actually matter.
- Symbiote 2y agoSome systems must have these certifications. What OS renders the monitoring screens for air traffic control systems, or railways signalling? Those both have rigorous software engineering behind them — railway signalling is the original of engineered, safety-critical logic systems, starting with mechanical interlocks in 1843. (The signalman physically couldn't move certain levers into bad configurations.)
