To temper this a bit: thankfully, all those industries are full of regulation and V-model and piles of documentation (for every line of code, multiple lines of other stuff on paper). Serious customers won't touch your product if you don't have a certified quality management system that fits The Standard.

I work in one of these industries -- I don't see much safety-critical engineering content on HN, and I think it's fair enough that it's glossed over. I agree that you can't move fast and break things when those things can hurt, or physically are, people.
