Those pictures you see of controllers at the Manned Space Center are NOT programmers, they are physicists, EEs, and other types of engineers. I am not, BTW, and have not worked in complex real-time flight systems. I do not want to worry about those RISKs, and we have all heard the stories about people with broken homes, etc. Think what you will of them, they don't all program in Ada yet. This all finally focuses on our attitudes on how we teach risks and computing.
Attitude is very important.
In private correspondence to our editor, I noted am example of attitude shift in my avocation. The training emphasis shifted to practicing for worse case situations. Climbing in the world went to greater levels of difficulty, fewer trained climbers were killed, and American climbing became a new standard in the world. I think we in computers are in the earliest stages of this. We don't have all the tools for a transition of ideas.
