I keep seeing this claim that software has suddenly become more buggy and unreliable since the advent of agentic coding, and I'm like… have folks just not been paying attention for the last decade?
Software has been getting progressively buggier and more unreliable every year for as long as I can remember
I'm not saying AI isn't increasing the rate of garbage code, but I do wonder how you can tell the difference between vibe coded shit and regular organic shit, because it smells the same to me
I asked Alexa, then Siri, then Google Assistant to remind me when the next Kentucky game happens. They all failed predictably.
Then I asked Claude, which took a while, but looked up the answer, and set a reminder for the wrong time in the Reminders app.
I caught the mistake since it wrote the time in the response too, and it fixed the reminder.
Hmmmnm.
Apple forced Spotify to kill their feature where the phone volume buttons would control the volume of a Spotify connect speaker you’re playing on.
TIL they copied the feature and added it to the AppleTV Remote app.
These assholes.

Oh, nice of Apple to do this preemptively in a move to head off legal (and political) pressure. A cut down to 20% would have been stronger, but baby steps (and carrots) for regulators, I guess. Sorry devs.
Oh wait, this is only in China. Oh, Apple.
