Registered Democrat in Philadelphia: "They will not allow us within 30 to 100 feet, to supervise the ballots being counted. This is a coup..." 2020-11-05

Yep. I come out of medical software dev, where if something is flawed in the code there is a good chance that someone will die.
Gaping holes in the code are definitely a result of intentional coding.

I think you realize that the incompetence is by design.
I once worked with a psychopath, and I spent months getting our international payments to happen smoothly so that the staff and vendors could be paid on time. Every time I started closing in on a solution to our payments problem, he would find some way to fuck it up, or make it impossible, or just not be available to sign something for a couple of month and then tell me why that particular solution wasn't acceptable.
It took me a long time to realize the problem was not supposed to be solved. In retrospect, it's hard to believe it took me so long to realize.

I knew a guy in the public housing department here in Australia. It’s an open secret that trying to fix problems will put a target on your back. I imagine it’s the case in most government departments. Thomas Sowell said the same thing about his time at the Department of Labor.

For a second I thought you were trying to claim you are a machinist who writes G-Code. I was about to light into you saying G-Code is not the same things as a software engineer who writes code to interface with specific API's or board level IC's at the bit level.
However it sounds like you are, for a lack of better terms, writing the brains for the machine that uses G-code inputs.
Glad you're here

Thx. I generally only get as far as "Well, with G code..." before getting blasted that "Oh so you don't know what you're talking about" when in reality, most of the (computer) code strategies in most languages can also be used in G code, but very few people use available functions to do that. It allows some really amazing G code programs... When I have more time I may brag about some of my successes. I may be heading to /v/machinists later on today.

I might swing by and take a look as well. G-code has always interested me. I have been confined to my C++, java, python, sql bubble for too long.

Yep, this sounds quite reasonable. Always wanted to see CNC type software from the inside.
Consider also medical software, software for aircraft control systems, software for nuclear power plants. Mission critical software engineering is not an old field, but it is old enough that there are plenty of successful companies out there that can write software that doesn't fail.
The moron in Imperial College who created that atrocity of a pandemic modeling system must have started up this voting software company.
How do you fuck up voting software? It's not an operating system. It should be straightforward. And how does it possibly fail in the field like that?
Smells bad.

Government work is not the same as commercial work. You have quality standards you have to meet to stay in business. Software produced by government contract has no such quality standards. The only people you need to keep happy to stay in business are the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians responsible to awarding the contract in the first place

Well, that is the problem, isn't it?
