do we regulate any software the way we regulate planes?
operating systems? compilers? web browsers? text/image/video/audio/3D editors? video games?
- markerz 11mo agoHealth care software with HIPPA compliance? Or SOC2? It’s not the same but it’s a high degree of regulation.
- reed1234 11mo agoI feel like for software it depends on the use case, not the technology. There a plenty of laws about software use cases such as data storage and privacy compliance etc.
- OtherShrezzing 11mo agoWell for starters, the software that runs on planes.
- rcxdude 11mo agoMedical device software. That said, software in these regulated industries tends to be a bit of a disaster area. Mainly because embedded software pays so much less, the average skill level is lower and no amount of quality paperwork is going to completely stop systematic incompetence. (not that the paperwork itself is inherently a problem: even skilled engineers will make mistakes sometimes and the quality system does generally mean that you do reviews and catch them. But when neither your planners nor your implementers nor your reviewers understand that casting pointers around willy-nilly in C is undefined behaviour, it's not gonna save you).
