“Code has the tendency to rise from servant to master to sole proprietor. The first autopilot kept a plane cruising at steady speed and altitude; the cockpit of the future, it is said, will have a pilot, a computer, and a dog. The dog there to bite the pilot if he touches the computer. Much of medicine is now on a similar glide path.”

― Peter Huber
