From one piece Blake Scholl: How 50 People Built a Supersonic Jet 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Cheaper software has increased the number of software engineers a company needs, not reduced it.

Their words

At boom we need far more software engineers in a postAI world than we need in a pre-AI world. Why? Because the cost of software development has dropped. anybody including hardware engineers can now become a coder and we need software engineers to make sure the architectures are right and make sense and are coherent.

The engineering that lives in engineers’ spreadsheets is really baby software, and it should be written as real software, with the testing and integration that implies.

Their words

We said all of this engineering that historically exists in spreadsheets really should exist in software. The spreadsheet engineering is like it's like baby software.

Good software is modular, but a good aeroplane is the opposite — everything affects everything else, which is why hardware iteration has always been slow.

Their words

But great airplanes are incredibly integrated and everything affects everything else. uh the the best airplane design is interplay of propulsion, of aerodynamics, of structures, of all kinds of optimizations, how you fit the systems into it.

A team of fifty can build a supersonic jet only by making hardware development look like software development and driving down the cost of iteration.

Their words

The key thing is to make hardware development look more like software development to reduce the cost of iteration both in the world of bits and in the world of atoms.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
