Hope this kind of discussion is okay here. We covered the DOE announcement on our show this week and the error correction workforce gap stood out more than the hardware target itself. Would love a reality check from people who actually work in this space.
The Katy, Texas crash from June 19th surfaces a problem that isn't really about this specific incident.
