Why software is bad and how to make it worse...

MIT Tech Review gets the technology right but the politics and economics terribly wrong in their piece on why software is so bad. They point out many of the problems with software development but their suggestion, not fully developed, that the solution is litigation and regulation is absurd. There is massive competition for effective software and clear market incentives to get it right. Amazing that Tech Review can't realize that trial lawyers and politicans are enemies, not friends, of innovation.
