If you look on the opposite side of the coin, you will see that we do have a bunch of tech that is very good these days, in a larger quality than the failures.

IMO these types of failures are simply a percentage of the overall tech, and the reason they seem prominent is because there is just a huge race in tech over the past decade.
If you actually want to fix it and reduce that percentage, push to replace engineers with computers. A lot of engineering problems are search problems. Computers are better at search than humans.
- JohnFen 4y agoI'm thinking mostly about software here, not tech in general. And I'm not saying that some things aren't better. But a lot of things are worse, and the trend worries me.
- nikau 4y ago> have a bunch of tech that is very good these days, in a larger quality than the failures. We have moved to products just being "good enough". An example is telco equipment, phones always just worked in the past, you would never expect an outage. Ask most people who had office or home phones up until the 90s and most would say they never had a single instance of their phone not working. Then we went to Voip, and now soft phones like MS teams, and reliability is shit. Its embarrassing that products like MS teams require multiple retry attempts each week just to make a simple phone call.
