> That’s the culture: the on-board shuttle group produces grown-up software, and the way they do it is by being grown-ups. It may not be sexy, it may not be a coding ego-trip — but it is the future of software. When you’re ready to take the next step — when you have to write perfect software instead of software that’s just good enough — then it’s time to grow up.

It's over two decades since that was written. I remember reading it when it was first published. Does it look much like the future?

It might not be the future of software, but it's the software of the future, in the sense that it's what enabled us to get to the moon, and will enable us to get to Mars.
