The title implies that European air traffic is now controlled by this startup's software. But "We helped modernize a 15-year-old operational application in just over one month — compared to an estimated six months using conventional development approaches." sounds more like a system not involed in air traffic control was modernised.

I doubt any actual air traffic system could be upgraded on a six month timeline using traditional methods, let alone vibe upgraded in a month (unless we are talking the update from 12.7.1 to 12.7.2 or an apt-get upgrade).

The swipe cards to get into the building, or the lunch ordering system perhaps; but not the stuff that stops the airplanes crashing into each other.

lmao correct
No, the title says that air traffic systems have been upgraded, not that the software controls air traffic.
