While were on the topic: USENIX talk from VP of software at SpaceX (2016) https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa16/conference-program/presentation/hosein https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa16/conference-program/... (Speaker was concurrently interim VP of Autopilot at Tesla for a bit as well) Few interesting bits: - Speaker’s background is SRE at Google - Engineering culture: Authority, autonomy, accountability. Blameless postmortems - High Integrity C++ & MISRA coding standards - The spacecraft has multiple onboard computers, all running Linux - Tripe String Architecture, 3 redundant computers, whose results are cross checked with majority voting before being applied in real time, given radiation tolerant over radiation hardened hardware
