IBM Black Team

Un vieil article sur lequel je suis tombé un peu par hasard. L'approche différente envers les "bugs" il y a 50 ans, et celle que nous avons maintenant :
Perhaps the most significant difference, however, was that despite the tremendous complexity of building computer systems in this manner, customers insisted that these systems work correctly. Today, software vendors have conditioned us to believe that bugs are an inevitable part of software, but in the 1960's a buggy operating system was properly considered to be a defective product. Customers do not pay for defective products.
Ensuite, à l'époque les coûts n'étaient pas les mêmes, et la complexité des programmes de même :)
