Re: Automation and Safety
I had a developer join the team after a stint with airbus working on flight control systems.
He was one of the most productive code writers I have ever worked with and would have innovative approaches which would produce hugely efficient code.
In a team of 4 programmers his code was always the last to go live as debugging took 5 times as long as the others.
Some of the stuff we were doing was complex but it was all rules based and they had been defined in advance.
When I challenged how he had managed at Airbus his response that there were multiple developers writing the same code for redundant computers, he actually relied on the other devs code being 100% correct so it would highlight his errors
Last I heard he was working as a roofer using no safety equipment.
