@brewsterkahle Sorry, not a native speaker here! What I mean (half-jokingly) is these days we - as in users and developers - just accept that our software is bad. We create higher layers of abstractions so ppl with minimal training can produce more sw, because we always need more sw somehow. Then ofc the abstractions leak, and the design doesn't make sense and UX is horrible. Then - if the lawyers and salesppl were smart enough - the producer can charge even more money for the fixes. And the buyers don't have alternatives and they just accept their faith because sw has always been buggy. And this is how you boil a frog.
