I've seen basic functions split across apps, broken cloud services, and even big-budget banking apps that are painful to use. Reliability and security often feel lacking too.
I have a few theories why this happens: Are we all too distracted to do focused work? Does the industry focus too much on the newest trends rather than building things right the first time? Have easy coding tools led to devs who don't grasp the fundamentals?
Plus, what does the rise of AI mean for software quality? Could things get a LOT worse before they get better?
What are the worst examples of bad software that drive you crazy? Are there shining examples of exceptional quality that give you hope?
