But if the Watch frustrates you every day, stop wearing it. It’s not essential. We were fine without smartwatches before. @mattgemmell

@marcoarment @mattgemmell i’ve only used Apple since ~2009 but I don’t remember this time in the past when everything always worked great

@marcoarment @mattgemmell not that I necessarily disagree with what you’re saying - these problems just don’t seem “new” to me

@AndrewWrites @marcoarment @mattgemmell I agree. The 'it just works' narrative was and is marketing.

@ChrisPirillo @AndrewWrites @marcoarment @mattgemmell @nexusCFX lol what.

@panzer @AndrewWrites @marcoarment @mattgemmell @nexusCFX - didn't think so. Look, a lot of blogging going on - obviously an issue.

@ChrisPirillo @AndrewWrites @marcoarment @mattgemmell @nexusCFX Bugs and flakiness are sucky, and it's fine to expect more. But a petition?

@marcoarment @mattgemmell Serious question: is it possible software has always been bad, we're just getting old and less patient? I'm unsure

@cabel @marcoarment @mattgemmell my feeling is sw generally worked until pushed in an unusual way. Now nominal things tend to fail.

@stevenf @marcoarment @mattgemmell I think you're right, but I can't stop thinking about how often I had to hard-reboot my MacOS 8 Macs

@stevenf @marcoarment @mattgemmell Like ALL THE TIME (sometimes you could save them in Macsbug) and I'd just think "Well, that's computers!"

@stevenf @marcoarment @mattgemmell And isn't "they don't make them like they used to!" literally the #1 most canonical old man thing to say?

@marcoarment @mattgemmell "page not found"?
