alt Hacker NewsWhat is more difficult, building a military missile or the software that runs it? If they are already building weapons, not sure the software to run them was the impediment.
Presumably, the world used dumb munitions without any software for a long time.

What do you think “presumably” is accomplishing here? Are you unsure, but willing to assume for purpose of the discussion, that bombs preceded computers?
