I was recently at Design East in Boston. The show is changing with more of a slant towards software and hardware tools. I met with a number of companies like AdaCore and LDRA . One topic we always tend to talk about is the challenge of convincing C/C++ programmers that static and dynamic analysis tools are more than expensive tools or that Ada is more than a military programming language. One idea that came up a number of times in slightly different terms is that many programmers think other people make mistakes but if they do then they can find and fix them or they will be unimportant. The bottom line is "I don't make mistakes." Of course no one would admit to this. Anyone who has programmed knows that mistakes occur and that bugs can cause major problems.
