How many more features are we asking from our software today?
I think it's a two part issue.
If you build a software with the same features as a '96 piece of software I can imagine it would be exceptional fast and stable.
I also imagine that almost no one would use it as features are what bring in the users.
I didn’t ask for a single of these ”features” for example: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphfed2c4091/io...
If our entire profession is unable to provide a better quality over the long term maybe it is time to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves ”wtf are we doing”? We are constantly churning out worse and worse products.
Right, you're the only person who buys software on this planet...
The software world has little to do with what software gets built, instead focus on the capital industry and you'll find your answers.
You say that as if I’m not acutely aware of the issues. I am ashamed that I am part of the problem.
