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 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.
