[Glass Wings] The Coming Software Apocalypse

<https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/09/saving-the-world-from-code/540393/>

"It’s been said that software is “eating the world.” More and more,
critical systems that were once controlled mechanically, or by people,
are coming to depend on code."

A thought-provoking article on managing complexity and the benefits of
higher levels of design abstraction and formal methods.  Via a private
share.

"A small group of programmers wants to change how we code—before
catastrophe strikes."

I've long been an advocate of better "tools for thought", especially
those that provide more interactivity and better visualisations.
