At a recent
software engineering management course in the US, the participants were given an
awkward question to answer. "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered
that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control
software how many of you would disembark immediately?"
Among the ensuing
forest of raised hands, only one man sat motionless. When asked what he would
do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay onboard.
With his
team's software, he said, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the
runway, let alone take off.
