alt Hacker NewsI’m rather sure *Airbus* will prefer a programmer which reads and writes reliable code.
The programmer which delivers useful products is probably hired by Microsoft? Or worse, Boeing. Or Toyota. Some NTSB people or Michael Barr are happy to tell you details about the number of dead people they created.
Restart braking to brake because our code failed.
One single sensor delivers wrong data. Let us put the trim down. DOWN! DOWN!
But I’m only programming a text viewer.

There are only so many safety-first companies and products. The vast majority of the economy isn't optimizing for safety
OT: it's not the first time I see this grammatical mistake: "didn’t trained". Is it some accepted regional variation?
Airbus pays like shit probably. Just going off the stuff I've read about Boeing.
We're not talking about Airbus or centuries old commodified industrial companies. Airbus sells airplanes, not AI software tools.
But if you did build a core innovation in aerospace that went viral I'm sure Airbus would be interested in hiring you.
The salary would be 3K per month. And lunch coupons to buy a ham baguette.
For Airbus, Boeing, and others the cost of failure is disproportionately high. Just look at how you consider Boeing despite that 99.99...% of their software and hardware work flawlessly. They will be known for the 737 Max failure for decades.
When OpenAI tells someone that suicide isn't that bad, some bs supplement could be the best thing to treat their cancer, or does anything else that has a negative outcome, the consequences are basically zero. That is even though any single failure like that probably kills alot more people per year than Boeing.
It seems there is knowledge of this and the lack of responsibility placed on these companies so they act accordingly.
