Yes, it took longer to code, test, and everything but it was worth it in the long run.

Being a Control Systems Engineer by profession, making bulletproof software was a matter of pride for me. I approached writing software like your son does structural engineering. Last night’s 60 Minutes had a segment about how the Russians are constantly probing our infrastructure like power, water, food, petroleum, looking for ways into the systems and planting malware for future activation. Why? Because the software running it has holes in it, that’s why. Now we’re worried about the Russians waging cyberwar on our infrastructure. The same should go for software engineering. People can die if the engineering is faulty and the bridge or building collapses.
That’s why we have the PE (professional engineering) certifications. One of my son’s is a structural engineer and, like you point out, if his name is on the blueprints he is responsible if something goes wrong due to his engineering designs or calculations. How many times do we read about exploits made possible by buffer overflows and faulty input checking, the very basics of coding? Why does it take the software being let loose on the public for these bugs to be found? Yes, if software developers were legally liable for the flaws in their products, especially when it comes to security flaws, maybe they would practice better due diligence. Individuals should be required to sign off on software builds - especially for critical systems like operating systems - just like engineers have to sign off on and are personally liable for plans. No more EULAs hand waving all responsibility for software quality away.

I think it's far beyond time to start treating computer science like professional engineering. I'm far from a big government type of person, but I am a pragmatist. Now computers are networked but "computer science" has advanced relatively little in cleaning this crap up. It didn't matter as much when machines weren't networked yet crap still spread via disk. That programmers resist things like type-safe languages because it takes more up front work. It boggles my mind that after all these years input validation and sanitization still sucks. Many of these exploits don't even require you to view the message in messages - just your phone receiving them was enough to launch the exploit. Nothing but spam and malware - utterly useless. Ugh - wish there was a way to just disable SMS texts.
