Software Programming should be handled like all engineering disciplines. Imagine if all engineering firms started building bridges, apartment blocks or cars the way software developers write code. To put it simply, we'd all be dead. The next time you're restarting your computer, upgrading your drivers, installing a new firmware, just think to yourself, when was the last time something purely mechanical stopped working for no apparent reason.

I wish all software was written with the same engineering philosophy which NASA employs. They Write the Right Stuff. Sure we wouldn't have as much software as we do today and it wouldn't be able to do as much, but what it did do would work flawlessly and I wouldn't feel like throwing my keyboard through my monitor at least once a day while at work, only to arrive home to have to restart my Sky HD box because it's crashed or has incredible menu lag.
