> But the people who design and build bridges, they're great at it. Bridges get built on time, on budget, and last for dozens, hundreds, even thousands of years. Bridge building is, if you think about it, kind of awesome. And bridges are such a common occurrence that they’re also incredibly boring. No one is amazed when a bridge works correctly, and everyone is kind of amazed when software does.

Emphasis mine was added by me.

Sorry, source needed. You're a software developer, not a bridge builder. Yes, bridges in my country seem to work, fair enough. But I have the faintest clue if the design/building process really is going that smoothly. To write this down as a fact to build your argument is IMO a pretty big assumption.
