Pipes & valves skids for pharma and food. or machining tools, conveyer belts for appliances. Basically making the tooling for factories. This is real engineering, process engineering

Orders of magnitude more complex than tooling for making software

If level of rigour for quality testing used for Clean-In-Place (CIP) piping skids of a biologics facility was used for AI software tooling, imagine the kind of software reliability we'd have instead of whatever the fuck today's genai tools spit out

@impactology once again I'm reminded of the book "To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design" (1985) by Henry Petroski
