Every time I read about space engineering, I'm amazed by how contingencies have contingencies. It's so much careful planning and rigor compared to my world. I can always re-compile, re-deploy and regularly realize that my job is not life or death.

Honestly, I'd say most engineering is like that outside of the software world. In the classic engineering disciplines with actual licensures at the end of the pipeline, the responsibility and ethics of this are ingrained into students from day 1. (Budget and importance of the application doesn't always allow for the indulgence of this though, at least to a point.)

This type of thinking also follows from decades of experience.

For some reason the software engineering world largely abandoned esteem and respect for all of the above.

To be honest with ourselves, until we have standardized licensing/accreditation that is fully recognized, we aren't really engineers.

I would love to see a day when redundancy like this is just a standardized, accepted practice rather than a stand-up debate. Easier said than done of course.

You can have this now, just go work in healthcare tech or a bank. The trade off is no innovation, career boosts, professional accomplishments, or projects under $10M.

Clients who want NASA quality can have it if they bring NASA budgets and timelines.

Oof. Point well made. That I certainly don't see changing any time soon.
