"Let's be honest here. What you're saying is probably fair in many cases. But to compare the IT projects you're talking about with what goes into real-time aviation systems is like comparing regular army with Special Forces. And I say that as a vanilla software developer who hopes he falls into the first two categories you describe. "

On the contrary, I started doing flat plate radar cross sections for the DoD on a project that turned out the be related to That Black Airplane. Remember Ada? Nope, gone down the ShopVac of IT ideas. I've seen BS across the board in IT, whose universal motto is "Failure is always an option. A stock option."
