GNOME developer challenges the industry on software quality

Original: The era of software quality, or the era of ostriches?

Michael Catanzaro, a GNOME developer, has published a blog post asking whether the software industry is truly in an era of quality or simply burying its head in the sand like an ostrich. The piece argues that developers and companies often ignore known defects instead of fixing them, and it has sparked debate among engineers about declining standards, patch culture, and whether shipping fast now outweighs shipping well.

Why now: The post challenges widely accepted practices in the software industry, prompting developers to argue about whether quality standards are genuinely slipping.
