You got to get over the software issue.


Me? 100% of my programming projects work. Nearly 100% of our released
firmware is shipped bug-free on the first release. Probably because we
treat programming as an engineering task, and employ no programmers.

No, not *your* work, I mean your negative feelings about 'programmers'.

I have to say, that I find C++ coders a strange species.
I think C++ is language disability brought forward by Stroustrup as he found
a way to work around his disability to program (think sequentially perhaps).

Blame this man ;-):

Anyways I was so happy when Linus decided the Linux kernel should stay C,
else Linux would have been dead years ago.
And, on that subject, I prefer to look at the projects that succeeded.
You can learn little from bad hardware, but a lot from good designs.
I know, I have done maintenance work and repair work on *very* complicated
electronics.
Linux is in a way a clear example from a guided team work coding success.

I know, I read those things in the paper, like that new terminal in Heathrow
that did cost zillions and messed up all the luggage anyways...
I wonder, who designed that, who thought of that,
did *anybody* think at all in that project ;-)
But I prefer to look at the bright side.
Most gadgets work, be it your mp3 player, or your TV, or you DVD player,
or your GPS, or you car's electronics, whatever.
The supermarket reads my card, I see it on may banking statements online, I can
pay online... It all works.
