Keep going, why don't we all write software the way NASA does?

(Also, it's just an analogy. I think perfect hiring would be much harder than bug free software).

Because companies are interested in profit; not top-quality software.

Anyone who tells you differently is deluded or lying.

That's why it's an extreme example.

I don't know if it's possible for anyone to answer this question but: does any organisation have a hiring process that's 5000:1 better than the average equivalent, like NASA's 5000:1 software defect rate?
