I guess the biggest problem with technology is that it’s programmed by us, by humans, and sometimes our limitations will cause tech to misfire.
In the case of the 737MAX tech issue that ended up in these two crashes(?), and without claiming to know even close to everything about the specifics on this system, it seems like it’s also a case of pushing an old design far, too far(?), while developing some of the designs and systems to the point where the aircraft is no longer safe.
