My overall grade was 'Outstanding', but I joined in Feb, so had a good -5 months before I was reviewed. Apparently it's difficult to get this where I work.

I can read it off-line whilst I'm travelling on the subway/ underground / tube

I use Ansible scripts to automate the setup on my new Macs, so far so good

In other words, all you do in use the iPad as a thin-client.

Which a Chromebook could do. Which your phone could do.

Which any of those laptops from 2002 could do.

Completely agree.

This is not entirely a software fault. Someone must have thought that it was ok and safe enough to rely on data from one sensor.

As an A320 family pilot, I still haven’t done cold and dark start. Maybe once day I will find an opportunity to.

It uses Electron.. which is packaged Chromium. That's the hog.

So... this is just another one of those "create a remote server to use as the main development machine"?

What if I want to work in areas of little or rubbish connectivity?

Tools such as docker, etc don't exist just to run things on a remote server.

>This is the million dollar question. Why didn't the pilots turn off the system and fly in "legacy mode" like they would if they were flying the prior revision of the 737.

As a pilot, if my plane is doing something which I don't expect it to - my first thought isn't to disable auto-trim, but to consider why it's doing that. A previous crew did have the issue, and did report the problem. As a pilot, I trust that it has been fixed, so no, it wouldn't be the first thing on my mind.

Why, then? Curious.. I'm about to accept an offer next week...

That is from 2014. There have been many changes in the programming language since.

Most people nowadays are using frameworks and abstraction layers which make most of these points moot.
