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

How does this relate to TFA or GP's reply?

How does impaired human memory and increased risk taking relate to software stability?

Respectfully, that's a bit of a stretch. Impaired human memory and increased risk taking are coefficients that would impact far more industries than software. I think the notion is that software, in particular, seems buggier. IF these side effects of repeated COVID infection have anything to do with software bugs, I would think it's contribution would be dramatically smaller than say LLM assisted coding, rapid merging of code, lack of human review.

Just a couple of examples:

- Linux kernel ai commits (https://lunduke.substack.com/p/ai-submissions-to-linux-hits-...)

- Omarchy 4 30k lines of ai generated code (https://x.com/dhh/status/2057907663967543618)

False dichotomy. There's no reason it couldn't impact software as well as other things. Also, it's obviously not the only acting force.
