- pjjpo 3mo agoWhile I don't want to ruin this thread with coming out, I can't find a better place - sorry. While I have a guess on what elephant everyone is thinking about, I wonder if it's just the stock market - at a higher level capitalism itself. I have felt Android get less stable with pretty much every release for many years now, well before the current boom. I think this is all a long term trend devaluing craftsmanship, with a root cause of why care if you can still make tons of money anyways.
- gigisfndr 3mo agoI tend to agree. This does seem attitudinal and around for a long time. Plus “Hurry up and break things” etc. has added to it. Furthermore, support & support metrics which could have been a great signal for such things is, I suspect, measured on something else (e.g speed to resolution of a ticket ) I am surprised that quality does not seem to have caught up yet as a moat - atleast amongst those who can afford it and atleast for big ticket items.

- dgellow 3mo agoNo room anymore, just a massive elephant
- cheschire 3mo agoIt's elephants all the way down.
- lioeters 3mo agoThe infinite tower of elephants is ringed by dancing worshippers wearing elephant masks and tusks, bowing with arms raised, then raising their faces up to the sky in ecstasy. "All hail, the Great Elephant of all existence! No room can contain your glory!"
