Re: Isn't THIS why we've got to teach 2nd-graders how to "code", rather than how to think?

Hey...way back in the dark ages of software development, I was taught that "quality" in a sofware product started with a robust DESIGN....long before anyone started to write code. If the DESIGN could not survive a detailed review, then the DESIGN needed some help.

The article also comments that two computers, formerly working independently, are now "connected together".....and something about this process didn't quite work out. Harking back to a successful safety DESIGN, I seem to recall that the Space Shuttle had a multi-computer control system, where THREE OUT OF FIVE computers needed to AGREE, before a control decision was implemented. Oh...and the five computers involved in the voting were all CODED by independent teams to the same DESIGN.

Haven't Boeing learned anything about quality and safety?

But then a wise man once pointed out that another successful company (the family of the Bourbon kings) "had forgotten nothing....and learned nothing".
