Today's software industry is crap!

Ok, a little clickbait tittle ;)
Today, a friend of mine sent me a great text about the laziness and complete lack of care for efficiency and simplicity in software development industry. I totally agree with the author, and encourage you guys to read it, and give it a deep thought:

@mlask thanks for the text ;)

I kinda agree and disagree with the author, covered most of my disagreements in one of my rants. Still a good read tho.

Interesting article. I think it touches on what has been called today's "disposable society". I heard that term with respect to things that we buy. Basically, if you car, phone, dishwasher, toy, shovel handle, etc. breaks, then you throw it away and go buy a new one. Some things, like phones, are too complicated to fix, but are marketed and built as non servicable anyway. A couple of generations ago, people tried to fix things. Most of today's folks don't even think of it. As with manufacturers making things in a disposable manner, I think software development processes have changed to match that mindset. Parts of Agile (scrum in particular) lead to very short term temporary code: timeboxing. Scrum in particular even treats people as disposable: "every team member has the same title", "no heros", "succeed or fail as a team", etc. I think there needs to be another cultural shift before software development can escape from this rut.

Too much mimimi in the text, you can't blame an app/os for not having a feature that you think is important

As for Gmail Inbox the main purpose is having feature rich mail client that runs in any browser without installing anything

If you want a efficient mail client, install one, there are lots of them

I've see this article all over devRant since it was posted lol
