Yes. The quality of software has definitely gone down. Then again, so has the quality of everything else, from engineering to urban planning to infrastructure maintenance. A possible explanation for this phenomena is that the global mean IQ has also fallen quite a bit over the last 50 years and continues to fall[0].

This source [0] seems to agree with that view. What's the deal here? [0]: https://ourworldindata.org/intelligence https://ourworldindata.org/intelligence
