Software Engineering Lessons from Aviation
I think there&#x27;s a lot to learn from the aviation industry. I did a talk at my companies internal conference on this (turned into words at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;ingeniouslysimple&#x2F;why-dont-planes-crash-14a0579a5e2d" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;ingeniouslysimple&#x2F;why-dont-planes-crash-1...</a>).<p>For me it&#x27;s the mindset that differs. Too often as software engineers we find a bug and just fix it. Aviation goes a step deeper and finds the environment that created the bug and stops that.<p>Unfortunately, the recent 737 MAX incidents seem to have changed this. From what I understand the reaction to the problems sounds more like what I&#x27;d expect a software business to do, rather than the airline industry!
