Now imagine how much they would make if their software was good.

Google, Facebook, Apple clearly care deeply about the quality of their code. They have to because bugs, bad performance, outages, vulnerabilities have very direct and immediate costs for them. I know Amazon and Microsoft have their critics but I bet they are also better than we give them credit for.

There are factors besides software quality that affect their success. But running bad software certainly isn’t going to help.

Not the impression I get these days.
