My answer would be: as the things are so broken, that I sometimes wonder how anything still works. Flawed cpus, memory, motherboards, operating systems, hardware, not to even go into userspace/web software full of lasigna frameworks that are buggy as hell even on then own and once you put all that into gulash called modern software... Its a small miracle on its own.
- xrisk 7y agothe saving grace is probably the fact that our hardware is pretty well designed and so are the core components of our operating systems
- matwood 7y agoNot just well designed, but many core components have been iterated on for decades at this point.
- crdoconnor 7y agoOn the plus side, there wouldn't be nearly as much work for us developers if everything just "worked".
- vsareto 7y agoIt seems miraculous because people calling stuff "broken" on the internet are often greatly exaggerating
