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

GNOME developer Michael Catanzaro has published a blog post asking whether the software industry is entering an era of genuine quality improvement, or one of wilful ignorance, likening developers who ignore problems to ostriches. The piece argues that major software projects face a choice between confronting defects honestly and papering over them, and it has struck a chord with developers weighing quality against shipping pressure.

Why now: A prominent GNOME developer's critique of software quality practices is resonating with engineers debating industry standards.
