Showerthought: At my hangar, we're doing more software patches than hardware fixes.

Grab some extra flash drives and test cables.

Read an article last week saying a modern plane has more lines of code than a social media app. That really makes you stop and think. It's all just computers with wings now, so the work has to change. The real tools are the update files and the test gear, not just the physical stuff. A wrench can't fix a bug in the flight management system. Kinda wild how the job is basically IT with safety wire.

No way, hangars are for wrenches not code!

And yet here we are, using wrenches to debug, apparently. Nice take, @mitchell.adam (though I'm pretty sure my code needs a hammer, not a wrench).

Sometimes my code needs a whole toolbox, not just a hammer.
