The world's software is eroding

It’s not just you. The world’s software is feeling a little unstable lately.
And this is a surprise? Every advance in hardware is instantaneously filled with more bloated consuming software just because. Only because you can do one thing doesn't mean that you have to. If people tried to be good at a couple of things instead of purchasing all the buzzword bingo bullsh1t that is put in those useless rankings every year... maybe some things would not happen. After all, there is no bug free software and no 100% security, no matter what you do
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's growth. Well, that, and the way we grew. We needed a decade's worth of web developers. We thought it was just fine to have a million different APIs we just download and glue together with tips from S.O. This is skill, but it is a different sort of skill from authoring those APIs or authoring things without them. I think it will continue to erode a bit longer. Too much demand and too little skill to go around and the combination means it's even more rare to have acumen in management with regard to all of it. AI will exacerbate this (via quantity), but the degree to which it helps find mistakes may make it a wash.
