Wooow, I would never have thought the issue would be software. So ironic. As a developer I just feel bad, it's like I'm working for the industry that is part of the problem.

Crazy to imagine that another simple non-software issue might have not been such a problem and would have been easily fixed.

I hope that one day, engineers will understand that the less electronics/software there is in a machine, the better it is. This trend should begin any time now.

It's not software, it's business processes which have ordered the software developers into a particular design.

It's both. The software doesn't get written unless the programmers do it. You are accountable to the code you write.
