Thats an interesting project. Thanks for sharing.

You have written this as if this doesn't routinely happen to every auto manufacturer. Why?

Does it?

Which auto manufacturer's have had recalls due to unapproved changes made on the assembly line?

I've seen design flaws force a recall but i'm not certain that unapproved change s on the assembly line is something that routinely happens.

Do we have public post mortems for all the thousands of recalls over the years?

For example, what happened with Toyota's wheels falling off a couple a years ago.

Been like that for decades. Only recently can you buy quality ice cream in supermarkets.

Yeah, I realised this recently while travelling in New Zealand, where even the cheapo ice cream that comes in big, 2L tubs tastes amazing. And this is a country where dairy products are typically more expensive than in the UK.

Pretty much any ice cream in the UK that isn't a boutique or super-premium brand just tastes like crap by comparison. Why does a country that makes such good cheese (for example) do such bad ice cream?

I blame the trend of "Low Fat" being mistaken for "Healthy" - it's the fat that gives the smoothness of ice cream, and there was a spate of replacing that with various gums that just... didn't work IMHO.

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Why on earth would government not be migrating to the cloud?

Not any old private company. The government just happens to own all the shares

"The Post Office is owned by the government, through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and UK Government Investments (UKGI), however, the Post Office Ltd Board has responsibility for the operations of the Post Office" [0]

And "The Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy holds government responsibility for postal affairs, including the Post Office" ... "the Post Office Ltd remains accountable to the government" [0]

They are right. Mercurial is better than git for 99% of usecases. But we lost this one.

The opinions of developers about low code solutions are not very relevant.

Low/no code solutions exist for when there isn't enough time or budget for a developer created solution, which is to say, pretty much all always. In the real world of business problems, almost nobody has access to a professional developer.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but typically companies have teams (architects, developers, etc.) on staff to help solve business problems.

Sure, but they are there for the /big/ problems. The myriad of small real-life problems that sometimes are solved by an intern with Excel and VBA are way too small to get handed to the professionals. Those things that would cost just 2 developer days are never handled (because the dev org doesn't keep a bench of developers sitting around for these small one-off tasks and thinks in multi-year projects).

Why would you assume this? The company that I work for (~ 1000 employees) has one part time employee who manages sharepoint. Any new software we wanted had to go through the procurement pipeline before we discovered we could use powerapps without asking anybody's permission.

Think about how lightning exists, and you'll see why this is not an issue.

I suspect as with most things in education, they focus on small self contained problems because it's easier to teach and easier to grade. These toy problems end up being all students know and therefore are what employers select on.

Land cables are usually considered classified/sensitive information, so no not generally.
