> The software industry has become an example of quantity over quality Yes, and so many other industries have lead the way as well. On some level I think it’s for the better. I won’t buy perfect, indestructible, 0.1 micron tolerance carrot peeler for the price of a car (nor will buy a car summiting the state of the art technology for the price of a house). I’m for cheap goods striking a good feature/price balance. But on the other end of the spectrum it all reminds me of John Siracusa’s legendary toaster reviews, every single one of them being so crappy in some specific way. Having overall nice experience for a reasonable price is becoming more the exception than the norm. I’m still happy we’ve left the Win98 days and kernel level crashes are pretty much a thing of the past.
