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

Comments

I think there are two sides to this.

On the one hand, surface level bugs do appear to be more common across the board. Like you almost wonder if anyone has ever test-driven the software even once before hitting deploy.

Operating systems and critical software does appear to be significantly more fault tolerant these days though. If you go back to something like Windows 95, it would BSOD with a frequency that is much higher than anything we're accustomed to these years.
