When reality is stranger than an ironic post.
So the software quality will be off the bottom of the scale. Ultra low cost, offshore, software creation almost universally results in junk.
The deeper they dig into this the worse it will become, if anybody with true safety critical software knowledge gets their hands on the code for this the MAX will remain a paperweight for many years.
This is not unique to the aviation industry either . . . how depressing.
