Software has a problem.

OK, it has many problems. I’ve already highlighted one of them. But this is another important one.

The problem is that software—all software, with no exceptions—sucks. The reason for this is multifaceted and we could spend years and years arguing about who has the larger list of reasons, but in the end it boils down to the proverbial shoemaker’s children: Our development tools are the worst of the worst in software.

    Excellent commentary. Excellent use of markdown for emphasis. 5/5

        Evasion? Pedantry? I’m afraid you’ve lost me. In any case it seems odd you would adopt such an acerbic posture with someone who essentially just agreed with you right down the line.

        Go figure.

          Yes. Your reply was not even slightly sarcastic and was clearly supportive. My bad.
