Thanks a lot, you just made me laugh out loud in a quiet cafe!

I'm sure the smartest are drawn to the big bucks of trading firms - but to think that any of those companies would ever be considered "the greatest engineering organization in human history" is a funny mental image.

Yep. NASA has such high standards that it's hard to imagine a private company ever matching its engineering quality, after all why would they need to?

Or afford to?

The way most software is built today makes me sad.
