Many companies these days appear to be struggling to produce software that is not glitchy and they cannot seem to find people who can write bug-free code (at least not to the same standard as before).
Many of the bugs we see today in software are related to glitches caused by some deep framework, library or engine issue which most developers cannot make sense of and tend to hack around instead of fixing the root issue. When I started my coding career, most bugs were pretty obvious and easy to reproduce; some feature either worked or it didn't work. Nowadays, a lot of the bugs manifest themselves as vulnerabilities, strange flickering, state not being saved correctly or rolling back, app slowing down to a crawl after prolonged use, or weird issues that seem to rarely happen and are difficult to reproduce.
