This was a greatly unpleasant post to read, likewise for all the others from this substack until I could not anymore. Its unrestricted, excessive usage of obvious LLM patterns was so unbearable I wonder how much of it had any human input at all.

As for the topic: software exists on a spectrum, where the importance of safety and stability is not equal from one point to another, does it not? Safe software is probably the safest (and most accessible) it's ever been before, meanwhile the capacity to produce low-effort has increased massively and its results are most obvious outside of a browser's safe space. And CrowdStrike is a terrible example because nobody ever had any love for them and their parasitic existence, even before that accident their track record of disastrous bugs and awful handling of disclosures.

And your operating system's Calculator apps have always been buggy pieces of crap in some way or another. You can find dozens of popular stories on this website talking about <platform>'s being garbage over all of its existence.
