> The more code, more bugs.
I came from a place where we developed ERP software with the entire business logic in SQL Stored Procedures with some minimal UI, and working with ML nowadays, the number of bugs are more or less the same; but the difference is that it's way simpler to catch bugs in current days plus the fact that the whole apparatus of stack tracking in modern programming languages helps a lot.
Another fundamental difference is that, in that resource/technology-constrained environment, at least in my experience, there's almost no space for "user features" or "customizations" or "enhancements in UI.". The whole concept of the product was an equivalent of a barefoot experience for the users, and since there's weren't many alternatives, people used to stick with the software regardless on how it sucked.
The average corporate developer in a normal B2C or even B2B environment is involved in so much complex set of requirements and customers/clients that are hyper-sophisticated that, at least for me, it's a modern miracle how technology is delivering and thriving in such an environment.
