Has the quality of software been improving all this time? | ||

The volume of software that we have produced with new tools has increased dramatically. The quality has remained at a level that the market can accept (and it doesn't want to bother paying for more quality for the cost of it). | ||

Absolutely. I missed the punch card days, but have been here for the rest, and software quality is way higher (overall) than it used to be. | ||
