bad software 

every time someone around me has to deal with bad software, or a system they rely on fails for software reasons, it hurts. we could make such amazing, helpful, enduring tools... but we don’t. when it takes 20 minutes to arrange a followup appointment with my doctor because the office’s scheduling app spent 15 minutes loading nothing, or when a friend’s workplace is coming apart because they chose the wrong database, it’s not just disappointing. i feel like my craft has failed them.
