Comment on What's Going on with the Web?

Comments

This reminds me of a tweet I saw recently:

"With agentic AI, there now no excuse to perform automated testing"

Two reactions:

1. What was the excuse before? That it wasn't worth it?

2. Assuming the statement is true: why does it feel like perceived software quality is going down?

My thought is that only a small fraction of people have cared about quality products. e.g. that's partly why Steve Jobs is lauded as such a visionary: b/c his obsession with quality and building ecosystems where everything fit together well.
