I will be called a statist, but I think the software industry is really lacking regulations and quality standards.<p>I&#x27;m not a security guy, but I think most of the security flaws you find in software are caused by the lack of government approved security standards. I mean is there ISO stuff for software quality? And even if there is, I really don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s useful or that it tries hard enough.<p>Just look at healthcare.gov, I&#x27;m sure things would have been going much more smoothly if there was ISO rules.<p>Although it might be debatable if it&#x27;s possible or wise to have such standards. But I would really appreciate it if important software like OS&#x27;s had actual standards.<p>It seems that most of the stuff talked about in this article are just mistakes allowed by a permissive practices.
