    Would it be as exciting to watch software being constructed if we understood it better? Maybe. But it's hard to imagine software looking as cool as this.https://twitter.com/boomaero/status/1260952919160971265 …

    XB-1’s wings are ready to soar. We've successfully installed the wings on XB-1, our supersonic demonstrator. Here, the team positions the 725-pound wings into place, making them look as light as air. #aerospace pic.twitter.com/2FZ63XCgAy

        There are three things that you should never know how they're made: - Sausages - Laws - Software

        Yeah software is never gonna compete with the excitement of that...it's a different paradigm.

        this is like assembling the servers where the software runs on. The actual design process (and countless hours of CAD) of the planes is not shown

        It’s like burning a copy of the finished software on a CD. Though to be fair they are building a prototype.

        No.... Hard to imagine unless it was an entirely new way of looking at software development. Maybe something akin to game development

        I actually think you are right- and 1-2 real time "announcers" with NFL style graphics would be cool. For example, when a certain library is used I could see them jumping to an animation showing how that same routine is powering some app on the viewer's iPhones.
