Question for anyone who's gone through a university or technical school CS or related program (or whatever):
In any of your classes, was there ever a cautionary tale of software issues that could have life-threatening consequences? (Therac-25, multiple avionics control softwares, Toyota anti-lock brakes, 2003 northeast US blackout, etc?)
@starkatt Our engineering classes covered things like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and that one hotel disaster, and the Challenger explosion. Not software problems, though.
@Rosemary Yeah Engineering has that culture of professional ethics already. I'm wondering if software is developing the same.
@Felthry @Rosemary Neither can I but I can explain exactly why it happened.
