Ah yes, just what I want on my thing that is supposed to keep me from dying in space: Control surfaces built around a technology with no realtime guarantees or in fact predictable performance of any kind, that runs in a flaky VM given to crashing, that packages an entire heavyweight software ecosystem on its back, running on software written by junior web developers.
"The team uses open source libraries only a last resort" ah yes there is No Other Option than to build our UI on top of the heaviest-weight VM anyone has ever created, with a codebase so massive that no normal sized team of developers can ever hope to be able to audit it
"We wanted the controls to look like a website that needs 2 gigabytes of memory to look at with a bunch of those stupid animations that play as you scroll that somehow use more GPU than FEAR that will inevitably go out of fashion as websites become comically larger, not to protect people from burning alive in the atmosphere/in the ship or from blowing up because of our shitty engines and terrible fusealage or work at a reasonable speed or let people get muscle memory or anything like that because buttons are so stupid those dumb idiot astronauts don't know what us web developers know we web developers are changing the world that's why I love listening to the Joe Rogan User Experience" —SpaceX
