His comment sums things up pretty well, IMO.

@LaChasseuse Velocity over quality has been a long-term trend.

Why do we need python virtualenvs and docker containers? Because nobody is willing to do the work to make their system libraries backward-compatible and keep track of breaking changes.

Why do we need kubernetes? Because nobody is willing to make their code stable, so they just automated the task of reinstalling it when it breaks.

Is there any way other than government regulation to reverse this?

@LaChasseuse

Velocity is not a substitute for Quality.
Got it 🙂👍

@LaChasseuse

Velocity is the anthesis of Quality.

🤔

@simonzerafa It's like that old saying "You can finish this project quickly and bad, or slowly and good, but not quickly and good."
@LaChasseuse Permission to disregard quality, disregard legalities, disregard individual and societal well-being...
@LaChasseuse and also disregarding the quality of communication *between humans*. I'm convinced, absolutely convinced that regular bot engagement degrades people's ability to speak with humility, empathy, and with an intention to educate, when they're interacting with other real people.
@LaChasseuse executives are inviting us to become just like them: reckless in pursuit of the rush.

@LaChasseuse the alt text has 3 occurrences of AI but instead of ai it is letters A and L

i don't personally use screen reader software, but i've recently set up filters to see less of the slop discourse, and this circumvents them

@keeri Hi - sorry about that. I have noticed that the character recognition tool in the ALT box sometimes puts a vertical line [ | ] instead of "eyes" or "ells", and I usually manage to catch that and fix it. Hadn't noticed it not distinguish btw the other two before. Thanks for the heads-up.

@LaChasseuse

Agreed... But.. (also)

This was the inevitable outcome once 'manager' types decided that they were just going to move "prototyping" caliber 'technologies' into "prod" for the exact same reasons

A.K.A.
Enterprises deciding that "Making everything a (damn vulnerable) web app" was an acceptable choice was always going to lead to "the next 'thing'" being yet another exchange of "disregarding quality," in exchange for 'shipping things faster' but w/o:
- knowing how it works
- proper due diligence
- reliable documentation

While being full of vulnerabilities
