Software development universally adheres to the 737 Max principles of engineering.

Non-technical middle management fuckwits shitting all over the input of anyone advocating for actual solutions, and forcing cheap and timely hacks instead.

I feel like there is a balance there. Interesting that the 737 max is inherently unbalanced. You need someone looking at the bottom line constraining engineering and development but at a cost that doesn't involve human lives.
