There is this weird notion among software developers that software goes bad just like milk does.
It literally works and will always work exactly the same way (including all good and bad things about it) as the day it was created. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is also somehow (though I couldn’t say how exactly) related to how lots of programmers believe that “but the next update to ChatGPT will make it a real boy”—there’s something fundamentally flawed with their ability to think.
@thomasfuchs True, though some of those things are security vulnerabilities that go from unknown to known over time. Honestly that's the one thing that I would say goes bad about software. Other than that, a lot of the "going bad" is mostly UX devs justifying their salary.
