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.

I do not understand why the businesspeople are hiring the poojeets that will destroy their businesses. The info are readily available on internet so why didn't they just look it up? There is literally no excuse for them to endanger the businesses.

Failure on Ford's part tbh.
Dodge Bros were partners and he pulled Steve "died of aids because he only ate fruit" Jobs and didn't let them extract their property/monies. He then lied and said he was quitting so the stock price would drop then he bought out all the investors/shareholders and became sole owner of now only his company. Based and jewed at the same time.

I've outsourced and the only way to let poos work is with white supervision. they make tons of mistakes and take 2x the time in most cases.

The Indian lobby is a silent but significantly strong unit capable of lowering H1B restrictions when things get worse.

There's too many benefits that come with the destruction of west by mass immigration. Worst case, it's fresh meat for the bank loans.

There might be an angle, or not? If loans for immigrants would be restricted, this could help. I had the same thought about our problems in Europe.

Because this is a Bolshevik Communist assault, and slow take over.
All of this disruption, and collapse, and chaos is by design.
I'm surprised more anons around here can't see the bigger picture.
The only chance we're going to get is being best at fucking shit up when the chaos does ensue.
We must be swift, and focused, and secure as much as possible before everything lands again.
Learn to live with very little. Learn to live off the wilderness. Be the storm shadow.
Fuck shit up, lads.
They think a bunch of faggots, trannies, and frail shit skins are going to survive enough to be the last ones standing.
They are in for a very rude awakening.

Even ashkanazi businessmen are brainwashed by guilt, since they carry white genes.
