Everything is broken. To crib from George Carlin, think about how incredibly stupid the average person is, and then realize that people run _everything_. Almost every industry/system/institution/company of a non-trivial size is staffed primarily by deeply stupid people. Practically the whole challenge of an economy is figuring out how to organize these people towards productive ends. "Dumb people work in software eng" is true, but it isn't a novel or useful insight; you may as well complain that cloudy days exist or that closed systems tend towards entropy. It's the reality that every industry and business operates within, and the claim that it's unique to software is wrong-headed.
