> The problem is simpler imho. Really it's just a problem of perverse incentives. It's probably even simpler than that: 1. Once software stopped being distributed on discs, managers cut QA and pre-release bug-fixing, because they'll just "fix it later in a patch." If course the patches often have problems too, which will be fixed in later patches with their own problems, ad nauseam. It's a case where a legitimate technical advance ultimately lead to worse outcomes, because it disrupted certain social "checks and balances."
