This caused me to reconsider something. I had kinda assumed that everything sucks because the bar of quality for software is so low, and that's pulling it down for every other field now that software proliferated into eating the world.

But I didn't examine that the relationship could work in both directions. Software sucks some of the time, but it doesn't excuse shit like how Crowdstrike can still be in business, and we should probably look into what's caused us to develop the attitude about not caring that shit is shit, just because the shit salesmen told us it'll be less shit in the future.
