For all the problems I've seen in software development, reading Twitter's shit is a fucking horror show.
It kinda proves to me why "computers will take over the world" not only can't happen, but won't happen. The software that runs the world right now, is some staples & duct-tape level bull shit. It's like all of modern technology was coded by Red Green.
I'm in the industry and this is absolutely true. Execs demand a new product be stood up in 6 months, send all the main team members off to do new shit when they have something minimally viable, then get pissed and demand answers when the thing inevitably breaks. Fucking morons.

Oh yeah, I'm just talking about raw code quality and documentation.
Everyone just wants to go go go. They don't want to slow down and make stuff reliable.
