I can't read this article as anything other than "I want to be special, look at me".

The only thing worse than the idea is how poorly it's argued.

Boeing's issues are not software related. Those planes crashed because of MacDonald Douglas's involvement and the lack of accountability _for management_ that followed. Also the FAA. Licensed software engineers wouldn't have fixed a systemic issue elsewhere. Plainly a stupid, irresponsible and irreverent opinion.

Hopefully the author reneges on this nonsensical idea.
