Anecdotally, I am seeing tons of visual bugs in software and apps these days.

Issues of rendering, too many menu options, mobile sizes not being accounted for per se, non-functioning buttons, half-load issues, etc. Consumer facing, major platforms, commercial services.

I can’t ascribe all of it to LLMs but there’s been an objective change in my impotent cursing from “what is wrong with them” to “did anyone even test this?” over the last six months to a year. If the backends start acting like these frontends we might get to see a bunch of cognitive/technical debt blow up at scale.

100% agree on this. Even just the flashing on nav menus. Very very common to load an app I'm already signed in to, see the "login / signup" state first, then a loading indicator or skeleton, then the logged in state. Just seems like amateur hour all over the place of people or companies not caring.
