"Everything fails," people say. "Hey, especially software." Software Does Not Fail. To be said to fail, software would have to work in the first place then not work in the second place. Software does not do that.

@neauoire I read this and I’m not sure what point it’s ultimately making, beyond “the only way to write correct software is to be extremely conscientious,” which, while very true, seems also a bit asinine for taking so many words to get there. Maybe I’m missing something.

@nf I think the point that I got was that what degrades is less the software but the ecosystem around it
