Comment on Is software getting worse?
pkulak@beehaw.org 11 months agoKernels have gotten better. Professional tools have gotten better. Everything on Linux has gotten better. Compilers and drivers too.
Everything else is built by the lowest bidder and is absolute garbage. And unfortunately, it’s what most people interact with all day long.

Eh.
This “everything else” are stuff that previously didn’t even exist. There used to be only professional tools and a few games, now you have an app (or multiple apps) for everything.
And I’ll take a garbage program over one that doesn’t exist.

Fair point. Maybe there’s only ever been so many good software folks, and they are all working on the same stuff they used to.
