people have been complaining about software going downhill ever since hand crafted assembler was replaced with C and a compiler. it's the classic "old man yells at clouds".
- zo1 3mo agoIt's all too easy to dismiss valid concerns as it's just the boomers/somethings complaining about "back in my day" and everyone getting on their lawn. Software definitely improved for many decades, then at some point started going downhill. Where that happened is up for debate. But UI/Software/Quality is NOT one of those "oh it's just the new generation complaining about the old days" or old people "reminiscing".
- purpleflashing 3mo agoAs I said, for non-technical people, software en masse has always been difficult to learn and use. I don’t think it’s getting “worse” or that it was “good” back in my day.
