Nobody gives a fuck about stability, or testing, or security, or bloat, or simplicity, or even producing software which works in the first place. They just want to spend the minimum effort required to get paid.
I fucking hate this industry.
Imagine if we lived in a world where reliable, cost-effective software was the norm, and failures were as rare as they are in other engineering domains. Instead we have a world where everything is fucking half-assed bargain bin shit piled upon 30 layers of abstractions, huge hulking Goliaths made entirely from feces, shoving everything else out of the way as it stumbles painfully slowly towards the window to paint a cat gif on your screen, then failing halfway through and burning your house down instead.
AND THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL
WHY ARE WE OKAY WITH THIS
And yet we spend obscene engineering resources on reliability and scalability for spyware, intrusive advertising, gambling, addictive design
Fuck this shitty planet
Majority of people prefer to pay $$$ to websites having the above (also add porn), which is why these sectors have the $$$ 🤷♂️
