> We know from observing reality that even buggy software is better than no software – a software so buggy it adds negative value is a rare exception. Whom observing which reality? I have made no scientific study - I am not stating any sort of strong opinion, just an uneasy feeling - that about 90% of the software and uses of computers subtract from humane well being and welfare, not contribute to it. Looking at you Javascript frameworks. Looking at you databases and tracking. Looking at you spyware and advertising bots. Looking at you killer robots (yes they exist - mostly thinking of the horrific USA military drone assassination programme) So many examples to choose from. I should not complain, I make my living from computers and the uses I facilitate are no shining examples of improving people's lives
