Comment on Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software buggier across the board?

Comments

Yes. My observation is that FAANG culture persisting the myth that testing is slow or writing clean/consistent code is slow (conveniently playing to the dev's ego, but I digress). As a result, a lot of bugs get shipped, inevitably triggering a rework cycle. But what does not get measured, does not get reported. As a result devs look busier than ever, great for their reviews, while quality dives.

A turnaround in the industry would be actually capturing the rework cycle into costs.
