It's amazing how consistently an update to literally anything these days means a guaranteed breakage of some part of your daily flow that already works.

>fix one bug, create two more
welcome to the world of the modern dev

>Move fast and break things! And NEVER stop doing that!

What are your users going to do? Go somewhere else? That's what you created lock-in for.

AI really does need to take over an eliminate "human error" when updating.
people are just shit at it, its time to accept the truth.

Ai is trained off human code and not off the best of the best, so you end up with the same errors and oversights.

man I remember testing the Beta iso for windows 7 which microsoft made freely available, it was more stable than the current version of windows.

I used to be excited for iOS and Android updates early on I'm not that old

>>105720326 (OP)
I’m excited for liquid ass. You are not speaking for me. frutiger aero ftw

>update installed
>software now has ads
>terms of service changed so that they will sell all your data
>useless "AI" features introduced that make software 20% slower
>main features removed/paywalled/butchered
>constant reminders to upgrade to premium version that is worse than earlier free version

Th-thanks

I used to be like this and used many different program chasing the best features. Over time I became a luddite who uses Debian Stable and I never want anything to change.

there is still software that makes you feel excited, for me it's Zed, it bangs out updates non-stop and all of them were great so far like native Git and the debugger

this. OP just needs to use better software

You get excited over "my application gradually acquires features that already exist". We got excited over entirely new ideas that had never been innovated before. We are not the same.

for example? there hasn't been anything new for years

>>105727498
>for example?
Literally everything ever done in the 80s and 90s, which is everything. For example, "The Internet". How's that? I bet you never even used Gopher.

The problem is devs make stuff worse on purpose for job security. This is well known.

Same Liquid Glass is the first thing I've been excited for in a while. I'm actually planning on walking into an Apple store for my next phone.
