@blacklight IMO this is a bad take. We still have very high reliability microcontrollers and people who know how to program them, and we make use of them all the time in all kinds of situations: pacemakers, MRI machines, elevator controllers, autopilot in planes, brake assist in cars, autoswitching the electrical grid, etc. But working that way is expensive and slow so we use other tools most of the time. You are pining for a past that is still right here!
