Yeah the problem is none of this is actually hitting the companies on the income statement. If code quality mattered, if dumping employees and replacing them with AI and churning out slop was costing them money, they wouldn't be doing it. It's not. Ultimately, the consumers will have to be the ones to hold them accountable, and the reality is they've built a system where consumers don't have a lot of options in many cases. Vendor lock-in, regulatory capture, and inescapable networks of byzantine contracts and partnerships and obligations around the industry have made shitty code and garbage products not just standard practice but required to do business. Tolerance of big tech apathy has turned into learned helplessness, catastrophic failures turn into finger-pointing contests, and nobody has any true accountability anymore. Until someone finds a way to hold them accountable, none of this is going to change.
