The key to the story is the single angle-of-attack sensor. Aviation, like any safety culture, normally emphasizes backups and redundancies. Boeing put in one, and made the second one an optional upgrade. A lot more to say. (*gets on writing treadmill* I guess). https://twitter.com/jacknicas/status/1111793410644426754 …

Right. Also, there is some discussion on how aggressive the stabilizer was—and it might have been way above what was disclosed to FAA. Waiting for concrete findings on that, but these are all design decisions, not bugs. Also, Airbus is more automated not less.

Totally design-stage issues. The coder doesn't arbitrarily say "ok lemme just use sensor 1 for this calculation"
