So, what do software developers say about Boeing 737 MAX software? I mean I think "That's terrifying!" might be an initial response.

I'm possibly missing something but i can't see an actual rebuttal to the comic ?

Perhaps it's my reading of the comic. I'm seeing a comment about software engineering as a profession in relation to other similar "engineering" fields, specifically about them being less mature/regulated/proffesional. Then a reference to how software running voting machines is terrifying, the article then goes on to deatil why that's the case.

The details of why e-voting is hard are interesting and raise some good points, but it's in no way addressing the "claims" in the comic.
