We use so much software everyday that it's inevitable that people will see jank here and there. It's *more* amazing how much software actually works. (And yes you do, more to the original tweet, & why people don't engage w/ dumb stuff like "software is worse now than ever!!!")

People that have been using software for many years and have been in the software industry have these opinions and it's not like they got of bed one day and started to hate all software there is in the world just for no reason.

These problems are real, and many people (myself included) think that it's getting worse, not better.
@cmuratori has some wonderful presentations showing the same software product and how it got worse over the years; it's astonishing.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -
It's not like there's no good software out there or that all is bad; it's just that many people don't even realize or refuse to believe that these problems exist, and when presented with a different approach to fixing these problems many will simply brush it off as not important.

Conversely, it's widely accepted that software has bugs, and that teams need to work to build quality in against other pressures, I just really don't think "tweetdeck has jank" and "software can degrade" are enough to say people aren't paying attention. IMO, it's about scale.

It's one thing to ship something that has bugs and it's slow, acknowledge the problem and be aware of it and another to be in denial and do nothing about it. In my professional career, I found the latter to be more present.

Anecdotal, but by this point, there's a decent % of devs/PMs who have grown up with the their baseline expectations set by slow bloatware, and honestly do not really realize what should be possible—and so that colors their own expectations and decisions.

Software quality has been on a glide path into the ground for decades. I realized how long expectations had become on a slight one day with fancy in-seat entertainment systems when the stewardess announced "like your home computer, sometimes they will crash".

Yet luckily, the software running the plane didn't crash ;) This just seems like different levels of "vital" for different kinds of software to me - and that's a necessary tradeoff when there's so much *of* it. It legitimately doesn't matter if in flight entertainment crashes.

Although the software running the plane didn't crash, the software running the plane did crash _the plane_. Twice.https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-software-errors-jeopardized-starliner-spaceship-737-max-planes-2020-2 …
