Software Eats the World - Wide Awake Developers

During this morning's drive, I crossed several small overpasses. It reminded me that the American Society of Civil Engineers rated more than 20% of our bridges as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. That got me to thinking about how we even know how many bridges there are in a country as large as the U.S. Some time in the past, it would require an army of people to go survey all the roads, looking for bridges and adding them to a ledger.
