Boeing push to make training profitable may have left 737 Max pilots unprepared

I think that's often the case in any company that doesn't sell software as a product/service. I know automotive companies are really terrible at it. That said, I'm not sure what level of engineering they do anyway. It seems like at best they design the chassis and maybe the engine. Everything else appears to be contracted out to some other firm. Is that the case?

Not sure about other car companies but my last job was at GM where I worked on their android auto platform. GM had before outsourced their development, but found the quality to be lacking so they have started to move software development in-house.

Agreed, my company's biggest problems all come from a lack of basic software/programming skills which they've decided is not something they need to spend any effort on. In the words of my managers, "we are not a software company" and "learning to code is easy" and "eughhh I don't want to learn any of that computer science stuff". That latter one was when I mentioned something about clean code.

"learning to code is easy"

Oh boy, that's a good one. Like learning to write and learning to paint are easy. You can easily get SOME result...

By the way, I have automotive experience. They do, and have to, pay well.
