> Maybe the author doesn't remember the blue screen of death, or reflexively hitting ctrl-S every five minutes to save because the software might crash, or clicking on menus in Word and they wouldn't open because you had a macro virus. Maybe the author doesn't remember broken software that just was not fixed, ever, because there were no software updates. Maybe the author is just too young to remember those things. Well I remember them.
I remember all of this, and it was a lot of time ago. XP was more stable than Vista. Then, Windows 7 arrived and became the most stable Windows version ever. Windows 10 and 11 turned out to be overbloated and problematic. I remember using uTorrent, which, after Azureus, felt like a breath of fresh air. It was written in C, super fast, small, and efficient. Now, it too has become an overbloated mess. In the last 10 years, the huge demand for software has led to many people entering the field without adequate understanding and knowledge about software enegineering, resulting in a market flooded with buggy, overbloated software.
