   So what exactly is happening to the software industry? Why are we getting buggier than ever releases of major Operating Systems?

   For some reasons I can’t stop thinking about “AI”.

      I’ve noticed so many bugs in spotify after they tweeted about how little coding their devs do now

         I am seeing this in all kinds of software. Quality is steadily declining.

            It's in AAA games too. For example, Diablo 4 has incredibly degraded. Basic features are often broken, like dungeon exits sending you to the right locations, UI interfaces having things that can't be clicked under certain circumstances, unlockable season abilities simply not working, etc

            But be wary of possible observation bias though. In my opinion, for one, the quality decline was going on long before AI.

               AI could have amplified it.

               On the contrary: software quality was steady and improving in my observations back then.
