This goes back to what I was talking about the other day. Fiat mindset is ruining software.

He comes to a different conclusion about why software is less performant today than I do, and I don’t think he’s wrong, but it’s not the whole picture.

I’ve seen firsthand at several tech startups where engineers desperately want to improve their products, but are not allowed the time to address it in favor of more features. Because pretty much every tech startup believes more features = more customers. High time preference bullshit.

Man I have been so annoyed with the constant tweaking of software. I feel like so many times the tweaks make the product worse.

Yup. Why fix tech debt and build a resilient product when you can just scrap it and start from scratch? Ideally in a way that lets you siphon out more data from your customers.
