Really good article.

This comes as close to perfectly capturing my dismay and horror at the devolution of Boeing in the last few decades, as well as describing a level of rigor that I deeply wish was far more prevalent in engineering as a general practice across all industries these days.

The lack of rigor isn’t caused by Engineering but by the MBA’s and Accounting.

  As if that is the ultimate goal. Not less death. Less accidents. More money.
  
  I’m pretty sure the author agrees with you. Not every dividend is monetary. He’s talking about the long lasting effects to security and how that will “pay out” in the years that follow

  People who were not going to be engineers got interested in engineering, and made their own heroes, like Jobs, the defining traits of whom in their myths were all about ruining a good culture.
