> the process has a tendency to self correct over time - creative destruction and all that

I wonder how long it takes for the correction to kick in, because for the last decade+, software seems to be getting worse and worse - slower, bloatier, less functional, and with more user-hostile business models.




Just look around your government systems. They have had decades to fix themselves but are they fixed yet? Are they faster, less bloatier, less user hostile and privacy invasive?


Let’s hope the public sector isn’t the model that the software industry is following.


Why, but it is. It's not the public sector that's causing these problems, it's the private companies that fulfill government contracts.
