<demo/>

on average professional coders make 100 to 150 errors in every 1000 lines of code they write

software bugs cost the US economy an estimated $59.5 billion every year

last year, canceled projects cost firms $67 billion; overruns on the other projects racked up another $21billion

need something a little more concrete?

USS Yorktown, SmartShip

crew member entered 0 in a data entry field, caused a “divide by 0” error that shut down propulsion

dead in the water for 2hrs 45mins

Ariane 5 Flight 501

re-used code from ariane 4, but took a different flight path because of different booster design

conversation from 64bit float to 16bit signed int caused overflow (exception handler was disabled for perf reasons)

cost: > $370 million @ 1996 prices

F-22 Raptor

deploying overseas to japan the first time

crossed international dateline, computers crashed losing all navigation and communications systems

clear weather allowed them to follow tankers back to hawaii

Raptor is likely the most advanced manned aircraft that will ever fly…

need something a little more visual?
