A Look into NASA’s Coding Philosophy – Student Voices

A Look into NASA’s Coding Philosophy – Student Voices: "With some years of work there, I wish to provide a first-hand account on the philosophy that’s allowed the space agency to produce some of the world’s most reliable software, and I’ll frame their attitude towards programming with a set of four assumptions I think they make for programmers in the workforce (and which I have experienced directly."
