Is "move fast and break things" a good culture for airplane manufacturer? Airbus is known for making good software, they earned their reputation by releasing the first fly by wire airliner (a320) in 84, which forced Boeing to go this route with the 777.

Making safety critical software is a totally different world than what is seen on HN. The culture needed is safety culture and it is all about doing boring code, following strict coding rules, doing tons of documentation and analysis prior coding and a doing tons of review of tests. I don't think it will arouse interest here.
