The problem is that this entire sclerotic industry is so allergic to accountability, that, if you want people to start, you probably have to fire 90% of the workforce. If it were up to me, the developers responsible for this would never write software "professionally" again.

The industry (or a couple of generations currently inhabiting it) could start with at least accepting responsibility when something goes wrong. Let me be clear: it's not about ending the "blameless culture" in engineering. No. It's about ending the culture of not taking any responsibility at all, when things go south. See the difference.
