Oh totally, I can't dispute that. It's just good reading in general, but is more of a response to the grandparent comment stating "the software industry is a complete joke in terms of quality control". I think that's probably not a completely off-base assessment of quality control on average in the tech industry, but the point is it's not like no one knows how to do better; rigorous QA processes exist, but it's a huge tradeoff between cost/agility/etc and the expected cost/damage of not getting it right.

There are SEI Level 5 operations in the world. They do exist. Or at least, we've been told they do.

But they are also super expensive.

And no one has any money to spend on anything like testing or quality any more.
