Guys like on the right are why I’m glad that in Canada any old dev can’t call themselves an engineer or oversee safety-critical development. Software engineering is a sub-discipline of engineering and regulated as such.
In fairness, the NASA Engineer can’t get NPM to behave either. That’s why we don’t send JavaScript to space.
Or do we? Now I desperately want to know what the first piece of JacaScript to run in space was/will be? It did/will mark the exact moment that we stopped taking space seriously.
The touchscreen controls and displays in SpaceX crew capsules are web based. So JavaScript is going to space pretty often.
Nice.
Holds hat over heart, and salutes.
Remember how the Titan sub used a game controller and everyone called them out? I think I’d still feel safer.
The touchscreen controls and displays in SpaceX crew capsules are web based.
ok, but a real spacefaring organisation though? One that isn’t run by a fucking idiot?
SpaceX is quite “real”. No other company is even close to it’s tech, low cost, and launch cadence. It’s because it’s run by Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX, who is skilled at keeping Musk away from ruining it.
To call the guy on the left a software engineer is a misclassification
