While I am frustrated by the state of modern software, this article fails to acknowledge what has got better. My daily software used to crash several times a day in the late 90s/ early 2000s. Hope you saved your work, because here’s was no auto save or anything like that. Software was so unreliable the idea of something like a browser or an image editor running for days would have seemed like a fantasy. (Nearly) show-stopping bugs would hang around for months or years. My hypothesis is that software is facing normal tech/feature pressure around network features which are difficult to solve with local applications, and economic and social pressure to keep adding features, which is leading to enshittification.
