When I graduated as an engineer, a friend told me "How do you feel entering a plane when you know that people like us build it".

I’ve worked several years in the automotive industry and saw how software was done there.

When the 737-MAX crashed, I entered into the rabbit-hole and built a really good understanding of the software issue.

The results are:

- I don’t board a boeing plane anymore.
- I avoid cars as much as I can.
- I be sure to recommend cars with the less possible software.

@ploum Every computer security person I knows has no smart devices or appliances on their network. Same thinking same theory.

The car thing is becoming interesting - one of the reasons people are increasingly giving for avoiding an EV is privacy/software.

@etchedpixels @ploum Precisely. The new Volvo EV looked interesting & affordable, but when I found out it’s using mapping software from Google I noped right out of that idea.
