Airline pilot. Surprisingly low technical knowledge required considering how computerized airplanes are.
Airplanes tech is designed easy to use for the pilot. You wouldn't want to debug an error during a flight mid-air.
Very true. It does very occasionally do some strange things, but then we just either disengage the autopilot, or change modes to something simpler while we try and figure out what went wrong (it’s almost always that we’ve made a mistake).
I would expect that software to be very well tested. Not like Microsoft Windows. :)
