Seems like Boeing is taking the game approach to software development. It compiles! Ship it, we'll test and patch later. |

And if you are wondering "Is 1 million lines of code a lot?" then https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/million-lines-of-code/ Some comparisons with similar projects (the "machine" category): Space shuttle 0.4 million F22 Raptor fighter 1.7 million Hubble space telescope 2 million Boeing 787 6.5 million (avionics and support) F35 fighter 24 million So on modern standards it is not that much. However, a comprehensive code review is still a lot of effort, let's say ballpark figure about 1 person-year. With 50 engineers should be done in less than ... 1 year. ::) |

Let's double that and add 50 more engineers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks%27s_law |
