I'm not sure if I agree with the plane analogy either. Aren't planes supposed to have exceptionally stable hardware and software platform? Does that not significantly reduce failure modes? Most production software by comparison is constantly evolving. Unless you design very simple or basic training examples, most of it's going to be out of date soon.

replyYes, unless it's Boeing. New system that takes over pitch control? Naw, that can't have bugs, so we don't need to tell pilots how to turn it off.
The former CTO of a large MSP software company once told me on a call the reason their product had so many features removed with price increases was "you can't maintain a plane while it's in the air"
replyThe immediate response was "We don't, your updates bring the on prem RMM down for hours at a time, the plane is grounded for maintenence regularly"
