There are more "engineers" writing software for your car or a train than "engineers" at Microsoft, Google, Apple or Facebook.

I don't think that someone will be happy when driving with 100 km/h on a highway, the car will suddenly decide to restart itself. There are bugs everywhere where profits are put before engineering but calling those people names is not constructive. Especially when they use SW created by "engineers" which crash with no apparent reason when they are doing their work.
