There is still great software being made. I would say that the interface in a Tesla is pretty great. There is just more software out there now, so the number of bad pieces of software are magnified that much more. But, I think great software is dependent on how willing the developers are in making it great. Yes they need support from management etc., but there is tons of great software out there, it is just that there is more and more mediocre and bad software being made as well.


Tesla's music player is pretty bad - the bug where it duplicates artist names for each album when you browse by artist has been there for years, if you try to switch between specific albums and back it frustratingly scrolls you back to the top each time. these are just my pet peeves see google for laundry lists and angry users.


It’s quantity * quality. If you use one piece of software that works 99% of the time it’s great.

But if you use 1000 programs a day that work 99% of the time then 10 of your programs are broken all the time.

We need to figure out how to increase quality and reliability somehow or it’s just going to keep getting worse.
