Richard Feynman, the Challenger, and Engineering

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-is-not-warm-fuzzies-on-a-cold-morning dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When Richard Feynman investigated the Challenger disaster as a member of the Rogers Commission, he issued a scathing report containing brilliant, insightful commentary on the nature of engineering. This short essay relates Feynman's commentary to modern software development."

    For a second there I thought I read "Rogers Communications" and "brilliant" and "engineering" in the same sentence. I thought I had been kicked to an alternate universe where I wouldn't be able to escape. I am glad to be back.
