Outsourced "contract" workers cannot raise necessary issues—they aren't part of the whole process or aviation experts, and their jobs are precarious. Also, the outsourcing here is important as a symptom—seems these people didn't even work on the MCAS. https://twitter.com/HenriqueOz/status/1145054607200202753 …

The Boeing Max case is important because it's a tragic example of how AI/automation/code crises will actually occur. It won't be Terminator coming back from the future to hunt O'connor. It will be regular corporations or governments using code/AI as they seek profit or control.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. Everything I've seen points out that those outsourced programmers didn't work on MCAS, the system that caused both crashes.

The point is that outsourcing the job makes it really hard for software developers to ask uncomfortable questions about underlying hardware design and raise safety alarms (because they could easily lose the contract).

Yes! Keep the attention on the structural reality. Don't demonize the workers living under it. They do their best within the culture and demands placed on them.

You get what you pay for

But that’s exactly not true here. The entire culture of safety vs. profit is skewed. It wouldn’t necessarily have been different if the offshore engineers were paid $30 or $300/hour. The structure/management processes are the problem. The lack of accountability is wrong.
