Ever more software layered on ever more software is always good, no matter what! Just ask the U.S. Navy that cancelled an entire ship building program because it took the 2 YEARS to get the 1st ship even functional.

This is what happens when coders are left to do whatever they want to without Chief Engineer or Project Manager oversite. I know - I was there. I'm glad I'm gone.

or the CE and/or PM are a total A-hat and try to tell the button beaters how to do their job... "then you get what we had here last week". Only after two years of the equipment not working correctly the customer hires someone else who to fix the problems (more like scrap all the old code and start over).

Haha. Love to see it. Full electric is not the way, period.


Full electric has its place. The future should be composed of multiple systems. Including full electric for those whose lives can work with it. Full internal combustion powered by gas , diesel , hydrogen, homemade grain alcohol, ethanol, homemade straight vegetable oil and homemade biodiesel.

Government needs to stop picking winners and losers. Quit funding other's purchases with our tax dollars.. and im not talking about just tax credits.

And quit using our tax dollars to write off some one else's truck purchase just because they slapped a magnet with the name of their business on the side.

Especially when it is outsourced to the lowest bidder in India like Tata or Birlasoft.
