Joe Firmage is a smart guy.

Early last month the Internet Auction giant, EBay, was forced to
suspend online transactions for almost 22 hours. This was front
page news, above the fold, on a Saturday morning in the San Jose
Mercury News. Only in Silicon Valley, right?

This software glitch cost lots of people lots of money. Its the
kind of thing that can happen in a start-up environment, with
programmers producing in "Internet time" and supported by little
or no software quality assurance.

Since then, Joe has started peppering his tech talk with
software engineering issues.

He's right, of course.
