    Yes, software is complex. But it can be more reliable—with money & time. We don't let our bridges fall, we shouldn't let software be crappy.

        @zeynep Yes but it's not binary. Software evolves rapidly as do security threats. It's akin to expecting a road for cars to support tanks.

        @zeynep I don't know enough about bridges, but I doubt they encapsulate the complexity that most software does...

        @zeynep in America, we do pretty much just let our bridges fall.

        @zeynep But then again, we are in the process of letting our bridges and other physical infrastructure crumble. Need another analogy.

        @zeynep the problem is that there’s little difference between working and being great for a bridge. Software can work and still be crappy.

        @fields @zeynep If software 'works' (as in: it does what it says on the tin) can it really be called crappy?

        @zeynep Making good software requires good management, good process, & realistic project schedules. Most projects have at most 1 of those.
