It remains the mystery at the heart of Boeing Co.’s 737 Max crisis: how a company renowned for meticulous design made seemingly basic software mistakes leading to a pair of deadly crashes. Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors.
The Max software – plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators this week revealed a new flaw – was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs.
Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace – notably India.
In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd. occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max.
The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.”
And Apple wants to move phone manufacture there? Good luck.

Indians are Aryans. You can never deny this.

Indians were subjugated by Aryans, but the Aryan caste system eventually broke down. Mostly because of degenerates that believed that love was more important than your blood. Because they forgot to love ones blood is to not only love oneself, but your family and kin. So they mixed and eventually were consumed by the brown inhuman hordes they once ruled over. Then the subcontinent lost its greatness and fell into decadence and continual warfare and subjugation of outside powers once more.

This.
As a person of Indo Aryan Identity, i confirm.
The thing is that superior aryans invaded pajeet (here, dravidian) land and subjugated them.
Shit got pathetic when they fucking cross bred with the inhumane, greedy and african-tier nigger gay dravidians who never got any respect for Hindu culture whatsoever. India went from "Aryavarta"(Old Indian name) to a Muslim ethnostate in just 700 years, thanks to weak cucks
Southern Indians are as stupid as they were always. Follow my advice, kick the Indian black and the indian muslim and kill them.

Irony: When you force an airplane manufacturer to hire your country's shitty engineers as conditions for a multi-billion dollar sale, then they fuck up the software so bad the planes crash and you can't fly the billions of dollars of aircraft you purchased.

boycott pajeets. anyone who hires pajeets boycott.

Indians are the WORST engineers. I have noticed in electronic designs they use too many parts (I'll explain to anyone who can understand), in architectural design too much wasted material on ineffective support structures, in coding they waste memory declaring to many global variables and cpu cycles with redundant API calls. I as a hobbyist could have done a better job.

If your of European descent or even Asian I would trust you as a hobbyist designing aircraft engines before I wouod trust an Indian with a comp sci degree. "/Why you may ask? Because at least you would have the sense to have an idea if you may he endangerimg lives by what you do. Ive studied and lectured pajeets, their lack of error checking combined with their enthusiasm for what they do, is truly terrifying..

This is the end result of prioritising profit before safety and even common sense. You do not entrust vital information and tasks to people who have not mastered defecating in toilets.

Indians are actually worse than niggers and jews combined
