alt Hacker News>> Again, not necessarily bad in itself,
yeah, it is bad. Human brain is not able to properly assess this amount of changes. To understand even a small change you need a lot of capacity. To understand thousands of lines - impossible.
This is pure slop pouring into prod and we can see more and more consequences of this in all big corps's products - things start to break more and more exponentially faster.
The thing I keep coming back to is - does it matter?
Really does it matter if a company produces something that breaks constantly or gets worse or slower.(See github) Megacorps have a wide moat and have forced out all competition or they just buy them with low interest loans.
The quality of products keeps getting worse and we can do nothing but live with it. So if that's the state of the world, why wouldn't you just push as many "features" as fast as possible. More is rewarded. Less is punished. Quality does not matter.
