I think that we went to another extreme. Because it's so easy to update, we just ship bad software saying "we'll fix it later". And we don't.
- acdha 2y agoHence the rest of the quoted sentence. I think removing barriers to fixing bugs is good but companies need to feel more pressure to do so.
- JohnFen 2y agoCompanies need to feel more pressure to ship software that doesn't have the bugs to begin with. That's the pressure that was eliminated. These days, it's just "ship it and we'll fix it later" instead, which is a big part of why (in my opinion) software quality has been declining for years.
