Comment on Software is evolving backwards
phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 days agoThat would make sense if evolution had a direction. But evolution can favor less complexity just as well as more: it depends on the selective pressures it’s under. “Fittest” is not necessarily “best.”
This applies metaphorically to marketed products as well as literally to biologiccal systems. It’s not inevitable that the marketplace will deliver progress. You might never get that invisible handjob.

No devolving makes sense. The natural pressures are causing the user interface to be worse.
